Hammer struts

What “mechanical advantage” does the E2 style hammer strut have over the “new style”?

Considering your Hammer is the pivot point, the further away the Mainspring is from it creates the mechanical advantage, like a longer lever. The "New Style" is where Sig did away with pinned Strut assemblies, around 2000 or so.

Regardless the strut assembly configuration, the hammer still pivots at the same point, the hammer strut pin is at the same point in the hammer and the strut is anchored at the same point on the frame. While there may be some difference in how "smoothly" the designs function, I see no difference in the mechanical advantage.
