All the responders that said they're the same unit are correct.
They handle the same pads, same everything except the counterweights and a few companies sell the other counterweight. Usually 3 or 4 bucks but most never swap out the counterweight anyway.
All the backing plates for the PC fit both models and the Edge company makes a PC adapter if you want to use the Edge 2000 pads, and the Edge adapter fits both models.
Get whichever one is cheaper or if you can wait a little, wait until DavidB comes out with the SuperPC (my name, not his) which has quite a few advantages over both the 7424 and the 7336.
The thread where it got a little publicity was something like 'DavidB I'm calling you out' and is within 1.5 weeks old.
