That picture is a bit misleading. In the picture the base of the ME appears to be the same size or even smaller than the base of the MX. In reality it's larger. Must be the perspective. Also, the picture can't tell you anything about the weight. The MX is much lighter an easier to carry than the ME. If you've ever carried an ME for a distance of more than a few meters, you'll find this weight difference briskly refreshing. This is rather ironic because the GT-1100S, the precursor to the ME was even heavier and more difficult to carry than the ME and I thought the same thing about the ME compared to the 1100S when the ME first came out.
