Tom has the Harold Wright, which I think has about a 1.10 mm tip opening. and then two facings in his other pro MPs models. I don't know the specs, but I suspect they are closer than the HW.
I have a couple of RE-10s which have a big, nice dark sound and are very responsive despite the darkness. Very smooth resistance and note to note consistency.
I've played one of his pro models that I borrowed for a brief while and it was very good ... covered, warm, great response. I should have bought one with the last two clarinets I purchased from him. I am planning on adding a 576, so I might acquire one then ...
He doesn't use the popular Zinner blanks, usually. I think Ted told me that whatever blank he uses seems to have a better sound and response in the high register ...
But, I you like your M15, why change? I mostly play an M13 (not lyre) with Legere reeds, and while I really like Tom's stuff, inertia just keeps me going on the Vandoren, which seems to work a little better with the synthetics.
