Yeh, that squares with the Mintex price difference I encountered a
few minutes ago, locally. I surmise (from the Mintex situation) that
the S4 ( "E"-type) version might also differ by the presence of that
anti-squeal wire gadget. The cost difference I was quoted is $75 vs
$45 (non-E?). Quite a lot of $$ for a couple of pieces of s-steel
wire.
