I, too, feel that while the upper range certainly goes beyond where the 2M could go, it has less breadth there. Less stereo separation, if that makes sense. While I certainly appreciate the raised ceiling, it would have been even nicer if it had sounded a bit less skinny.

When did this get so dusty?The sound is wonderful, it seems to play older records much biter that the AT , surface noise oven on old ( 50 year old ) records, is so low , and any scratches that the AT would shout out, are subdued, yet all the detail is there.
