They are light years apart.
Thanks Arthur, I feel much better. Like I said, it is smooth as glass now. It just seems to have a performance notch around 3000 RPM where a sort of turbo boost kicks in. After researching more of the technical aspects of the M104, this now makes sense. However, though primitive in comparison, I still love the M103. You are correct, though - they are light years apart.
