The Super for some strange reason doesn't couple them so the internal tracks don't move - I think it's because the way they use the tracks to latch the door closed instead of the hidden button on the Crown. I actually like the Crown better, but the Super has forward tilt (inconvenient but there), the back rotates, and the focusing hood snaps off so old guys like me can get their faces close enough to see the groundglass.
