I suspect they are going to go for something newer and plastic, just because of the fact that they do quite a few outdoor gigs every year. I have contacted Hannah, and she has been wonderful. In our price range in the plastic models, she has a few 330s, a couple of Yamaha 410s (all plastic 411) and a 441P (plastic top joint). If they are set on plastic (hard to talk these old committee guys around sometimes!), I may get a Yamaha and a Fox from Hannah and compare.
While it would be wonderful to have an old Kreul, or a Bulgheroni, we're having a hard enough time convincing them not to go down to the local music store (which they've already tried) and spending $1100 on a beat up Linton (let's just say that used instruments is not this particular store's strong point), so we're trying to stick to the $2000 end of the spectrum.
