Hi Brenda,
I've owned my S1 since 1978 and I never have considered it stuffy. I get a clear, sweet sound, even from the first time I tried it out with my old Mitchell Lurie mouthpiece that I used in High School in 1978.
When I've sought to change my mouthpiece/reed combo I have had stuffy moments, which I chalked up to just to needing to work out the new combo or scrap that new combo.
However, your decision not to buy it makes total sense to me. My opinion about buying the one on Ebay is that since it's not as well known, that if you did find you didn't like it, it would be more difficult to resell and recover your costs.
I know my post comes 5 years later, but I wanted to add my 2 cents anyways....
Michael
