They suffer more with rust but that may be down to quality of the steel and paint.

I don't think the metal itself was thinner, more the quality and coating which caused the apparent corrosion issues.

I remember my old workshop Manger brought a MK1 ZS180 new then when the MK2 came out he traded the MK1 in and got a new MK2 180. I'll always remember when he packed it up and brought it into work next day you could see the base coat though the paint. Not sure of the paint code (but was the black which has the green base coat) and it had to go back in to have a complete respray believe it or not. It also had a full set of door handles before was a year old he wasn't happy as he never had any problems with the MK1

Might as well buy my 1.4 lump and swap the top end over if it's going in a zed.
