Remington 1100 LW 20g

I have a Remington 1100 LW twenty that I enjoy very much. According to Remington, it was made in 1972.
I know that Remington redesigned the small frame twenties in 1977, designating the new design "LT" (and that the barrels don't interchange).
My question is:
What was Remington's rationale for the redesign? Are there safety, dimensional, or functionality differences between a LW and LT twenty?
Thanks in advance for your replies.

ps - This is my first post. I've been reading this forum for some time and have been very impressed by the friendliness and accuracy of the replies. Especially the friendliness.

Had one once and would like to find another.
Nice balance and not too punishing.

The LW twenty was the same frame size as the 28ga and 410.
My LW originally had a Luan Mahogany stock for extra weight savings according to Remington. The wood was so soft I could mark it with my fingernail. I sent the stock set back to Remington along with a note describing my concern and they replaced with it with a very nice Black Walnut LT stock. So I know the stocks interchange between LW and LT at least.
Thanks,
Rick
Both LT 20 and LW 20 had the smaller frame but the LW 20 had the lighter Mahogany stock.
for the record if anyone is taking notes, the SA, and SB grades were same as the 12ga frame. need one?[:D] fyi, thats not pitting, thats coz, baby!

I think the ejection ports are shaped different too.
I prefer the receiver decoration on the older 1100's. The pattern is simpler and more elegant the the new. Bobski's skeet has the newer style.
Does any body have a picture of an LT and LW side by side?
Thanks,

Speaking of barrel differences - there is a picture of the type of barrel extension that my LW has in the 1100 410 post by rmill .
