I've had at least 3 masters and at minimum 4 experts and they have been consistent in their exact differences.
My theory is the Masters made in one factory and the Experts in another factory. Reportedly Miyata, panasonic etc were made at the same factory so,I theorize maybe ONE of the Ironman frames. The world may never know for sure and only 2 or 3 care.
