I see no obvious sensor that would tell it.  The manual, of course, is
no help at all.

That would be my guess as well.  If what I'm seeing are "improved mechanical
components" the original versions must have been horrible (or better and
expensive, depending on who is supposed to benefit from the "improvement").
