There are 3 main features that differentiate the current production 226Rs from the EEs, the SRT, the beavertail and the forward serrations. Current production 226Rs *should* have the ergo grip and short trigger(not to be confused with the SRT which consists of internal parts). Older stock of the 226R may not have these features. Also night sights are optional on the 226R, where as they are standard on the EE. That being said, if the beavertail really bothers you either aesthetically or functionally, you could always get a 226R and have the SRT kit installed. Not sure about in Canada, but down here it would run maybe $100-150 to have that done by a gunsmith or armorer.
