Subj: [kl] Trading a Leblanc for a Buffet

This thread leads me on to a question that has been on my mind for a
bit. Most of the list members appear to be in the USA. I'm not - I'm an
Englishman. I have not heard a mention of the RC (Buffet) at all on this
list. Can't be the cost difference between it and the R13 as they are
the same price, at least over here. So what is the story? What have you
lot got against it?

I didn't like the R13 as much - it is a little brighter although I have
to say that I managed to find a real peach with my Bb RC. It just seems
a pity if you lot over there are ignoring a cracking instrument!

So what is it - is it not imported or is it just that it is deeply
unfashionable?
