Oh, and here's what I've figured out on the MF-1 vs. MF-II thing.
MF-II is definitely a 101Enh layout, from everything I've found, which means it's definitely some variant of Model M, and has the same scancodes as AT - 1391401 is definitely an MF-II, as is 1390131.
MF-1 has the same scancodes as XT, but I've seen references to it being a terminal keyboard, and that first site that was confusing about all of this definitely makes reference to it being a Model M - or maybe a Model M variant with 24 F-keys? Whatever it is, it has F-keys over the typing area, separate arrow keys, AND number keys over the typing area... just like a Model M. I'll also note that an updated XT motherboard (released in 1986, same as the Model M) has BIOS support for the 101Enh keyboard, but they didn't change any of the keyboard hardware. I'm gonna stick with my original 1390120 guess.
MF-III (?!?!??!) has mostly the same scancodes as MF-II and AT... until you get to right Alt, then that, the Ctrl, the arrow block, editing block, and F-keys are all different.
Anyway, Lexmarks have a thinner steel backplate - IIRC, 1/8" instead of 1/4". In addition, IIRC, the Lexmark boards have thinner plastic. But, they never got rid of it.
You want really heavy, though, go get yourself a pre-1989 Model M - those things are north of six pounds, IIRC.
