RE: Never had a 681EEE. But,

Hi Justin

The P-mount bodies have slightly different electrical specifications with the nominal inductance specifies at 900mH rather than 930mH. Also, the angle of the tip is adjusted to reflect the different angle that the body sits at. So putting a P-mount tip on a normal 1/2 inch body results in a slightly higher SRA. I have found the SRA on the normal 1/2 inch styli to be somewhat below optimum and sit between 0 and 1 degree. Some are negative!! So the P-mount styli actually work better in a 1/2 inch body.
Interesting that you mention about the cut quality - I have found that the Stereohedron tips on the low end models to be rather poor! These cheaper ones are bonded. Under the microscope, the cuts are not straight or symmetric. In some cases, they are not bonded in the correct orientation. My D6800EEEIIS styli were nude whereas my D-11S and D73S are bonded.
