I like it better than the earlier one, as it uses a smaller jog encoder and is just smaller overall. But here's a pic of my Bridgeport unit http://pico-systems.com/pendant.html That is a 3" MPG encoder there, so that gives the scale of the whole thing. The HEDSS encoder is a 2" unit, so the whole thing is scaled down to about 66%.
