Is this different than the Standard X? If so, how?

The Standard X2 has a longer support arm and traveling arm, which are both marked X2. This is to support the morning glory horn instead of the black bell horn of the Standard X.

Easiest way to tell the arms apart... the X has 5 openings and the X2 has 4
