My Bb is an L300 (ser #55xxx from 1984) and I have the same opinion as you. What really struck me about it, and still does, is the tone I get. My sound was always a bit on the bright side, and I longed for the "dark round " tone I always heard people refer to, and I got with the Leblanc. I don't know what modifications were made between the 200 and 300, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that the pros thought the 300 lacked projection and may have been too dark sounding. I've never been able to find any info on the model including bore size or type. I also recently acquired an L7 A (45xxx I don't know the year) which I find to be a great match for my Bb. The one problem I have with both is that the throat tones (esp. the A4) seem to be tuned down from the rest of the instrument. It's great if your playing with a piano but can be problematic in an ensemble or clarinet section that lives on the sharp side.
