Difference between mk3 and mk3s hotend

Hi guys

So I'm planning to replace my hotend for my mk3 but at the same time, I'm getting the mk3s upgrade kit. With that, I realized that there is different hotends available for mk3 and mk3s. Is there a difference?

Thanks for the reply Joan.

In that case, should I be getting the MK3s hotend since i am getting the upgrade kit?

Either that, or get only the parts of your older/existing hot end that need replacing. For example, I doubt the heatsink has worn out...

Granted, I haven't compared the cost of getting the hot-end piecemeal vs. fully assembled...
