Tom, it wasn't a cut, it was bringing back the argument of materials, which some call a myth. So saying that hard rubber is better (feel, sound), would be agreeing that there is truth to the materials argument.
Of course hard rubber has advantages to wood for durability, as it doesn't crack from lack of humidity, affected by, etc.
I'm a firm believer that materials do make a difference in response, and tone. The dimensions are still paramount - and make the biggest difference for everything. Then there's the subtleties, which to me the material does make a big difference. For instance, I love the look of snake wood, but not the sound at all. When I first played the Cocobolo Wood, I didn't really like the non uniform black with metal rings look, but it wasn't about look, it was about sound.
I of course did get used to it, but if looks were a deciding factor, I wouldn't have gone in that direction.
And in other discussions, I have written that your Clarinets are a best buy for the $.
