The original ACE weighs much less and has more power too, but this is a Morgan forum so I'm not surprised..
I wouldn't say I was 'Morgan blinkered' - I've been equally vocal about the poor styling of the original Aero (although I think the Max is a work of absolute beauty)
Looking at the M3W next to the Ace, I don't think the Ace can hold a candle to the M3W styling. Although I'm not decrying the blokes obvious engineering skill and ability, the Ace looks like some kind of garden shed abortion compared to the M3W.
