Quote Twan Verseput; Teamrider Surfcenter:

"Regarding the feeling on the water, especially the medium sizes 7.4/6.8 have undergone a change. I think the name MA (medium aspect) fits well because the sail in those sizes has a bit less backhand and the pressure point is more forward. You especially notice that you can build and maintain speed very easily when sailing across the wind, and you accelerate well without needing a lot of backhand power. In other words, it’s easier to use, even if you're lighter! The smaller sizes still feel familiar, like in previous years' Low Aspect version. They offer power downwind and a lot of control. The batten angle and sleeve have been slightly changed, making the sail feel a bit softer, which improves control along with more stability due to the steeper batten angle."
