Sorry - I meant "look the same" and I am not very acute observer.And
honestly I looked at number of pages only.
 And disabling microtype increases number of pages in pdflatex by count of 20

Actually, including microtype with lualatex increased the size from
15.8 MB to 16.1 MB and 2508 to 2512 pages

Best. Victor
