M50 73 keybed different then M50 61?

Hi all,
I thought I would ask everyone's expertise in this forum.
I tried an M50 73 in a music store today, and I could swear that it had a different feeling keybed than my 61...is this possible? Without a 61 key version to try on the spot, I could only go by my imagination thinking of my 61 at home....
My early M50 advertisement pamplets state that the 61 and 73 key version have the same description keyboard (I forget the name they gave it). But the 73 key version I tried today felt different. It almost had the feel of the M3 - shorter "throw" in the key action is the first thing I noticed.
Although I have gotten used to my M50 61's action, I always felt it was one of the less-desirable aspects of this synth.
Anyone else have a similar experience? Could the M50 73 I saw today in the store have an improved keyboard? (Being that it is factory-new, and of an up-to-date standard including possible changes to the keyboard action?)
I appreciate you taking the time to read this!
