Beautiful. Nobody buy this while I save up for several months! But honestly this looks like a killer deal. Be surprised if it's still up in a week.

How is the 34J different from the 24J/25J?

The 24/25J have short-stroke valves. The 3XJ series does not.
Since the ports on the valves are not oval, the valve bodies look slightly smaller in diameter and the valve button shafts don't seem to be offset like they are on the 2XJ series.
