You need to use comparable models. For example the Opus
is NOT in the same category as the R-13. The proper comparison would be the
Leblanc Infinity in the current product lineup.
The Leblanc Opus should instead be compared to the Buffet Prestige. If you
check, you will find that their list prices and their discount prices are
quite comparable. The same can be said of the R-13 versus the Infinity.

R-13 vs Infinity?? I disagree. The R-13 is comparable to the Concerto
Model. I am told (by someone at Leblanc) that a Concerto with Silver Keys
feels/plays just like the Opus.
