Double register key for bass clarinet

Have any of the bass clarinetists around here (and I know there's quite a few of us) played or even seen a bass clarinet with the manual double register key? Most pro model basses have the automatic double register key but I believe that Leblanc still offers a manual model. The automatic system is a complicated bit of keywork that is prone to go out of adjustment. It seems to me that the manual system would be simpler and less likely to go out of adjustment. But I've never seen or played a bass with this system or known anyone who has.
