What are the differences between the JPM 5003 and the non JPM Tournament Blade other than the cosmetics?

I've been trying to figure this one out as well too. From my research, Tournament blade and MB-5003 are similar in size with different grind/leading edge.

If someone has definite answer as to whether MB-5003 are more compact/shorter blade length than Tournament Blades, please let me know~

I would be interested to hear from others as well the differences from mb-5003 and the US version tournament blade. i own a set of L.E. (baby) blades purchased this year. I like them alot but am thinking of selling them for the MB-5003 heads.

Perhaps someone with Miura can help us understand the difference. I think the 5003s have a wider sole and are ground differently for Japanese style courses. It is the grind which is most different, but is it noticeable in play? I see that JDM heads typically have less offset and are stronger lofted than their US counterparts, but I doubt that is much of a factor in blade style clubs.
