yes- but even R'CV says that it could be like the M"R. (ulai bziknuso chazar 
bo). The M"R was a  talmid after R'CV. If this is what the Gra held later 
on, then this would lechora be the ikkar shitas hagaon. The Gaon was not a 
conformist- he did what he felt was right, even if it meant changing the 
minhag!  If so, why would  only the Perushim be justified in following the 
M"R.
 derech agav the M"R was not from those talmidim who  went to E"Y.
Maybe somebody could check with Rav Brevda or Rav Eliach (who just finished 
Chumash hagra) if they know more.
