I had heard that the original dies for the Rolleiflexes were lost, and the GX was made using Rolleicord dies. That might have something to do with it. Also, there were ~3 different trigger switches used - the first ones were really sticky, with a harsh change about ½ way thru; they changed manuf, and the last ones were much smoother....
The shutter release is fine on my GX, just not as silky as my 2.8E but I think that is unavoidable as it needs to be 2 stage in order to trigger the light meter.
