Compared with previous ER-1611

Perhaps the review facilitates one or the other fluctuating interested in forming an opinion.
I put my focus on the comparison to its predecessor, as it (in my opinion) otherwise is no competition on these machines.
I had a long time for a trimmer for beard and body hair mainly sought, which has a wide shaving head and something more enduring than the popular Remington devices. As I sat more or less at the source (the father's hair salon), I asked a good device to buy what he the ER-1611 bought it to me. He used this every day, and for several years and has had a good experience with it.
The ER-1611 met all my criteria for full satisfaction. Interface, ease, longevity of the battery, adjustment. After I made myself a little more detail on the Internet through the machine smart, I'm also met with the local successor, who has given me pure design technical course like better. As luck would have it, I was able to give the ER-1611 my brother, who was also looking for a suitable machine.

I then let my successor to come and see only the following differences:

- Lighter
- Thinner the grip circumference
- Design
- Loading tray separated from Aufsatzschale
- PSU small

Has remained the same:

- Operation on a single charge
- Cross section
- Shaving head (is exactly the same; the info in advance could not find anywhere)
- Settings

What I can not compare (as a layman) is the Constant Control. Whether this really brings something, professionals need to assess.

Of course both machines for a petrol normal consumer something "over the top" but I have so found my blessing and would neither the one nor the other exchange. This statement sums up my review also pretty much together on one point:

Make Subjectively for me both machines to the design no difference. So if you want to save some money can confidently pick up the predecessor, which does its work superbly.

UPDATE 18/04/2015:
================
Continues to be the ne plus ultra for me personally, but due to the current price development (I was amazed) I wanted to add this: In November 2014, I have paid 166.90 for this machine. She is now 40 (!) Cheaper and only 7 more expensive than its predecessor. My opinion: slamming, for those a hair clipper to play with the idea to establish. The money is well invested.
