The particularly enjoy the Privilege, though I've yet to get my hands on the very newest incarnation of that model. This summer, I was performing in Japan for two months with an international Broadway tour, and I was able to try many, many instruments while I was there. (Japanese music stores are absolute wonderlands! If you ever get a chance to go to Tokyo, go! The variety of high-end woodwinds that are kept in stock over there is mind-blowing.) The theater I was performing at was in Shibuya, and about a ten minute walk away from the venue is a music store called Actus (Nonaka), which is the official Selmer dealer in Tokyo. I got to try everything from the Odyssey to the Privilege, and I made a short demo video comparing the Recital, Signature, and Privilege back to back. (I also played the Odyssey, Arthea, and St. Louis, but unbeknownst to me, my SD card was full! :( ) If you have a spare three minutes or so, you can check it out here: http://youtu.be/kkS4E8EO9NY There are slight differences between the models, which I think are pretty evident, even in my last-minute haphazard testing-room recording, but they are all absolutely fantastic instruments and very much worth trying out if you haven't already. I think it might be a bit difficult to get ahold of a variety of them in the States, though I do think there are places such as Kessler Music in Nevada that might be able to help with that.
