Probably the most noticeable difference is the thickness of the wrist. Not nearly as fine and ergonomically agreeable to the hand as the Meriden Parkers were made.
I like the Ilion Parkers very much but to me, they just seem to lack something intangible though the fit and finish is all there. It's like something, I don't know just what, but something, didn't make the trip from Meriden to Ilion......
