I don't know an exact number difference because I change too many things at once to have an accurate test.

MX-2/TX-2 can be applied just like AS-5 or ceramique, but TX-4/MX-4 needs to be spread and comes with a plastic tool (tuniq does at least). The trick is to apply lots of downward pressure while spreading otherwise it behaves like silly putty, sliding or rolling up. Once you get the hang of it it's easy and goes on evenly.
