The kontronik motors uses big ( very big, actually.) segments in their rotors. There's only three segments in the rotor shown at their website, but probably its because the rotor is actually a 380-400 size. Probably the larger ones uses more segments, but I have to open up my FUN500-27 can and see for myself with eyes unclouded. The rotor is also nickle plated and it seems that the 19 series' rotor is also nickle plated to resist rust and humid. If the 500-27 rotor has only three segments, then I'll give up on the kontroniks and go for a 1940 instead, but then again, I'll pay 150 dollars extra for the 1940.
