Whether they have the same cam stop spring design may be true, but would need to be established before your quote is relevant. I didn't see enough info on the Metolius site to determine the spring and cam stop design on either.
mr williams an adminsitrator and respected poster there posted this ...
I had this happen on a purple TCUs (same lobes as MCam), but mine broke in a fall. Without the cam-stop, the cam is useless. I see this as a design flaw on the grey and purple. I didn't bother to email Metolius about it since I got the thing for like $30 and I was on a road trip. They may very well replace the lobe if you send it in, but I've always thought that was a bit of a hassle if you use your gear often. I got a couple of C3's on sale to compliment my Aliens, but still like the TCU's blue to Orange.
now my broken one had one cam stop behind the other, so it was unsuable no matter what ... but my understanding is that the current 0 and 00 TCUs require the cam stops like the mastercams
who knows ... i could be wrong ... or mr williams could be lying or stooopid like all MPers 
but not all the affected cams dont require cam stops to operate ...
