Yeah I was going to say E-IIs have thicker necks. It could be the thicker neck that is giving more chunk. Could be the difference in the particular piece of wood used in the m bodies as wellI really want to believe there is something I was did wrong. I may have a more experienced tech look it over before I send it back. The strings were in great condition, though they weren't the strings I typically use. I have a couple of extra sets lying around so I may have the tech change them.
I did check the pickup height and the battery was brand new. Below are my findings.
I also forgot to mention that I also did the obvious and tinkered with the amp's EQ too. The ESP Original M-II has a noticeable amount of low end chunk when palm-muting, but it still sounded thinner overall despite apparently having the same bridge pickup.
I have to credit you with triggering the idea of having it looked over by someone more experienced, so thank you!
