Nozzle on the Eclipse Takumi is the same brass carrier with screw in (non-removable ).35 nozzle as the previous Eclipse version. The nozzle on the CM Takumi is the same screw in .18 as the previous Micron version. The two brushes feature a shorter body length trigger to tip vs. previous models, and use a gravity feed style side cup. The older side cups fit both brushes, and both brushes have an option for a small or large color cup.
The Takumi Eclipse has become one of my favorite brushes because of the new hand forward positioning on the brush. It matches early American brushes like the TC and Wold quite well, in terms of ergonomics.

Thanks for the clarification, Dave!

I've used my takumi eclipse a few times but have been flushing rather than tearing it down so I've not actually bothered to see the interior yet

Its a relief to hear you like it after all the stress you found from it being delayed.

Hey!! Congrats! It's a beautiful brush. I'm a little on the fence with the trigger texture though. Let me know what you think once you get some time with it.
