Subj: What about the others?

Of course, we all hear about the R13, the R13 Prestige, the R13 Greenline,
everyone's heard of or likes, etc those instruments. However, I don't see
many people speaking of the R13 Vintage or the Buffet Elite, which, from
looking at the prices I see in catalogues, are supposed to be superior
instruments (most likely). While my professor has mentioned a little of
the Vintage to me, describing exactly how they came about producing them
and what not, I've ne'er heard a word from ANYONE in the world about the
Buffet Elite, other than what I've seen in catalogues. Anyone here played
one/currently plays one? What makes it sooooo different (ie, why do I
need to pay more for it)? Is it all that great?

Am I rambling?
Am I getting lame now?
Am I just being stupid at this point? ^_^

Gee, since Americans and Europeans throw rice at weddings, should I be
throwing burgers?
