I see, however I don't think I'll buy the newer version. I was thinking about buying the Ishimori and M/O with the "M" stamped on it, however I am perfectly happy with the Vandoren Optimum and BG Grand Duo. Both of which have modifications on them.

Also, based on what you wrote it looks like you have the CL series. Which one? And what do you think of it? I have the CL6 and absolutely love, however I find that I am a little sharp, but that's because I tune to 440 and the one I have is 442, oh well! I also find that it's not that famous... or at least the only mouthpieces I find people using are the M15, M30, M13, and the Reserve line.
