Looks pretty much identical to the outgoing AT-LP5. New VM95e (instead of AT95EX), MC option, and a power brick instead of built-in power supply look to be the only obvious changes. The reviewer liked the newer model vs. old, but didn't test it for more than a few minutes. Specs looks pretty close to the same for both models.
