Are ZS180 Mk1 & Mk2 steering racks the same?

I read on another forum here (post #29), that the mk2 rack was a quicker ratio.

I've never heard this before though.
Granted it was on a Honda forum not MG, so not sure how reliable the info is, but I thought worth confirming. Personally I'd be very surprised if it was true.

Any thoughts?
Perhaps from someone that went from a Mk1 to a Mk2 180.
Was the steering more responsive?
