I don't think the difference is all that great. To be honest the MD-2 does not
feel apprecialby stabler, but it DOES feel heavier. And the weight does make a
difference, it adds up fast! You can't hand hold a OM-4 w/300 w/MD very still
when your neck and arms are tired!
The MD1s have a reputation for being exceptionally reliable. MD2s have a
reputation for being a bit more cranky. Perhaps John H can give a more reliable
answer.
One other thing is that MD1s can be had for much less than the MD2.
In a word I don't feel that the MD2 is worth the added weight and cost, whcih is
why I sold mine a few years back.
