I find that the LX won't do something that the Super Program and Program Plus will do (and I think I used to do this with the ME super, as well), which gives these A bodies (and, I believe, at least some of the M bodies) an edge in film loading ease: After I've stuck the end of the film leader into the Magic Needles, I don't actually use the winding lever to advance the film, but instead I just simply rotate the knurled teeth at the lower end of the take-up spool to the left, using my right thumb to do so. This is (for me) very easy to do while the rest of my right hand supports the body (easier than it is to wind the film with the winding lever). Since the LX doesn't do the above (the winding lever must be used to rotate the take-up spool), the LX is (for me) just a little less easy to load with film.
