chose the Rovner because I have the TR-147, and this is what Tom uses on his TR-147.....

Ligatures match the mouthpiece more than the clarinet. Don't forget that!

As for you being lazy, SHAME ON YOU! But you're right, some people like ligatures that they don't have to fuss with. My ligature (Francois Louis) needs a little fussing to put on. You have to line it up correctly over the front of the reed, and that takes a little longer than others, but I'm very happy with it (it's also a single screw lig) and the results I get with it. Not to mention, when you get down to it, you only spend an extra what? Maybe 15 - 30 seconds with a "fussy" ligature? There are people that can wrap a piece of string around their mouthpiece probably as quick as I can put on mine.

But it's all preference. I have a Rovner MKIII and liked it for one mouthpiece I had, but not for my main two.
