The Leblanc is made from forged nickel silver and brass wheras the Chinese instruments are made of cupronickel that was likely just cast. While you may need to restore an old Leblanc paperclip, you can at least be sure that the keywork is strong and well made, the same cannot be said for the Chinese version.
Having fixed dozens and dozens of Chinese instruments I can say with confidence that the quality of the keywork is nowhere near that of Leblanc instruments, which generally have very well made keywork.
Ultimately it's your decision, if you do get it please report back how it plays. I dobut anyone on here owns one of these so you would likely be one of the first "early adopters". Personally I think $2K is a lot to gamble with...
