John Baetons mentions "That Leblanc Concerto looks better everyday".

Well, you don't even need the Concerto. I just received my second
Leblanc Infinity, an A to match the Bb I got a month or so ago. I have to
say that this pair of Leblancs clearly plays better, has better workmanship
than the comparable Buffet R13's I've tried.

I think you will find much greater consistency in the Leblanc's than the
Buffets. You still may find an R13, or a Prestige, etc., that you clearly
prefer to any of the Leblancs. But based on my experience and what I've heard
from more than one dealer, the Leblancs are clearly worth a try.
