"don't the rossi's also have an offset register key? Btw- it's something saxes have had for ages, so it's not really a 'new' idea."

It may be standard on saxes due to the placement of the pillars and the need for the right amount of leverage to operate the automatic 8ve mechanism (and ergonomic design), but as clarinets are more conservative in their design with a certain degree of symmetry of key pieces being the norm, and an assymetrical speaker key touch is a radical thing considering what clarinets normally have - both French and German alike.
