Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

So I bought an XL7 when it first came out, and it said
"Made in the USA" on the bottom.

I sold it, and just recently bought another one-
This one says "Made in the China" :p

And- damn it if the buttons dont seem just a little
flimsier than I remember and the pads have a subtly
different feel-

Am I on crack here?
Are there any tangible differences between the
USA/China models?
