Stitch, sure - all the parameters you mention will be different. >> Parameters like lapping, gap width, ABS, pole tip, etc may differ substantially. Even the testing parameters may differ.<<
We're getting hung up on semantics, I think. Even though the above will be different in size and measurement, the design principles are the same. The head is still MR, it is constructed the same, but sized differently. It will be tested to different specs. I think of it as scaling. It is not a different technology.
I'll let you have the last word, though. :)
