Sony MDR-1R MK2 for Ear Cup Comfort?

[bpandbass]

Does anyone have any wearing experience with the Sony MDR-1R MK2s? I have very sensitive ears, and while I really enjoy the sound quality on the baby brother, the MDR-10R, I find the ear cups are too cramped and the pads rub against the back edges of my ears, causing hot spots. Which is too bad since I do enjoy the Sony house sound more than the Sennheiser sound (Senn mids are too veiled over), but comfort on Sonys has been really hit and miss for me, while Senns have been a little better (not the HD650 though, its ear cups made my ears sore).
 
 I was wondering whether the MDR-1R MK2 has any improvements to the ear pad size and ear cup space.
