Evaluating a Yamaha CSG

Just got a Yamaha CSG-H and CSG-S from Prowinds yesterday. So far, I have just tried the CSG-H (hamilton plating). Initial impressision is very good. I haven't tested it with a tuner yet but I consider my ears very good and the intonation seems unbelievable. I sounds dead-on. Throat tones sound really good and the Chalemeau reg. is really big. The key work, at least for me, feels perfect. I tried a Leblanc concerto II whose key work everyone raves about, but for me, it didn't feel right. I realized everyone has different size fingers, hands, etc. So far, I am really impressed and in light of the recent Buffet price increases, this horn seems like a bargain at $2100 plus there is a $200 rebate from Yamaha right now. I will post with further info after evaluating the silver key version.
