>> I second the Greenline 1193, but if you get one have a tech drill out the upper register to 3mm. For some reason the vent is way too small from the factory. <<

The ones I've seen had a 3mm hole, though none were from the last couple of years. The exact best size for that hole depends on the player and their preferred compromise. Smaller than 3mm has its own advantages but almost no one prefers them. I use a 3.5mm hole while I drilled it for others mostly to 3.2mm to 3.4mm diameters. You can read more it in my post in the Keepers section of the forum about this exact topic.
