I=B9ll ditto that question. It doesn=B9t sound like a lot, but it means the spa=
n
of a M10 is larger by a good 1/16=B2, which is very significant when your han=
d
span can just barely make a M10. And very disconcerting when you are used t=
o
what the smaller span feels like and have adapted, then face the larger siz=
e
and say, well, something unprintable.
