Boosey Hawkes Clarinets

I have a 2-20 that I love even though it is very flat. I'm using a M13 with regular #4's. I think this is the wrong set up and would contribute to the low intonation. I have heard that a big bore should be played with an open MP and the appropriate reed. I like the way this set up feels though. I should say that I play Jazz so intonation is less critical. Any thoughts on this.

The 2-20 is a great horn design, very unique key work that I just really like. I have read on the Boosey.com forum that there is a 4-20 pro model but I have never seen nor heard of it other then the BH site. I would be very gracious if anyone would spend some time and write about this line of Boosey Hawkes.

Things I like besides the Keywork which was R. Keel's influence, is the felexability of it. It can play very smooth and fluid yet honk like an old model T Ford if need be.
