<< R-13 should be compared to something like the Leblanc Infinity. >>

Are you serious? The Leblanc catalog compares the Infinite to the R-13, but I
strongly disagree with that. Once again, Leblanc's marketing genius has
brainwashed a potential customer with clever writing and pretty pictures. I
think the Infinite is comparable to an E-11. The Concerto model is the R-13's
true competitor. Leblanc throws you a curve with bold statements and hopes
you will bite. If the Infinite is the R-13 equal, then the Concerto must be
superior to a standard R-13!
Not like it matters (everyone has a personal preference on brands), but how
many pros play on Infinite? How many serious students play Infinite?
Considering that the Woodwind & Brasswind has an on-going "blowout" deal on
purchasing a set, you'd think if they were R-13 equals, we'd all consider
buying them.

I'm sure the new Leblanc catalog will say that the Vito VSP is comparable to a
Rossi!!!!!!
