Ken - the 1-10 was the plastic bodied instrument (which is the same as our Regent) and the 2-20 is the same as an Edgware which is an entry level wooden instrument - so essentially a student or intermediate instrument depending on your viewpoint. There was an 8-10 below the 10-10 (which became the 1010). I've only ever seen 1-10 and 2-20 instruments (and obviously 1010s) but never anything in between (Emperor or Imperial equivalents going by a different name).
Some plastic B&H 1-10s were Bundys (and the B&H "78" was also a Bundy) and the Regent II became the B12 (and was the Evette prior to being the Regent II).
As far as the heirarchy goes, the Regent (or 1-10) is in the same level as a Buffet B12 or Yamaha 250, the Edgware (or 2-20) is the same level as the Buffet E11 or Yamaha 450 and the Emperor is the same level as the Buffet E13 or Yamaha 650. That's not to say they're directly comparable instruments to the Buffets or Yamahas (as they are neither Buffets nor Yamahas), but they would fit into a similar price range as them if they were still being built.
