You wouldn't think that there'd be all that much difference between the machines, but ... I'm using precision -7 and tickadj 5 on both machines. The 4/60's keep great time, but the 4/390's seem to have consistently greater offsets -- the difference is about an order of magnitude. Plus the 4/390's clutter up the console with silly warning messages whenever the time is reset.
