I must admit, I made the comment assuming that the Super A and the SuperProgram are the same bodies, differing only in colour. I have owned both the ME Super and the SuperProgram, with a brief overlap, but only handled the Super A in the absence of both the others. According to the published specs, the dimensions of the two bodies (ME Super and SuperProgram) are as follows: SuperProgram -- 131mm W x 86.5mm H x 47.5mm D ME Super -- 131.5mm W x 83mm H x 49.5mm D they're pretty close but not quite the same shape, which could account for the earlier comment that the ME Super felt -- what was it, "sleeker"? Certainly it explains them feeling different in the hands, especially with a weight difference as well. Also it's apparent from the figures that they aren't the same body. The SuperProgram and the Program Plus, however (I think the outside-US names would be SuperA and ProgramA) have exactly the same published dimensions. Those could well be the same body with different features; perhaps they're the ones you were thinking about? ERN
