Cool. Only play a little bass, and love Legeres for that. Sound fine, aren't "dead" at all, and they can sit there for an hour and you just pick it up and play. With some mouthpieces, the difference between Bb and bass is less. Grabner says he designs for that, and it works. Decades ago, I got a low C Leblanc from Brannon. Didn't leak, but there was a lot of squish in the mechanism for the low notes, which was almost as annoying. Test a new bass for rigid, non-bending keys on the extended notes! I don't know if that's a property of being "forged," but wherever it comes from, it's important.
