Mine is an 'M'. The designations they have been obsessing about are
country of manufacture designations, and mine was made in Mexico. There
are others who will have you enter a code to find out who the actual
panel manufacturer is. After reading too many often contradictory posts,
I decided it was all meaningless crap. Whatever they figured out might
or might not be either sample variation or real differences, but by the
time somebody works it all out, the sources and manufacturing will have
changed anyway.
I just figured I'd buy one, and if it didn't work to my satisfaction,
send it back. It is sharp, stable and easily profiled, so I kept it. On
the sites where there are lots of customer reviews, the ratio of good to
bad was better than any of the competition. I think that's a better
indication than the obsessions of gear freaks who actually get pleasure
out of finding flaws, secret codes, etc., real or not, exchanging
products - you get the picture.....

I saw your note that you got the wrong model. I bought mine from Tiger
and got it very quickly. Still waiting for the rebate check, but it will
show up eventually.
