If your can find a really good one, the Hite Premier is very good ... the best examples are, IMHO, better than the Fobes Debut (and the Debut is brighter) ... but you gotta look for a good one because IMHO, not as consistent as some others ...
I'd say that a good Hite's sound would be described as round, centered and with some "mellowness" ...
The Hite also works well with Legere Signature reeds.
If you play border-line flat with your 4C, when buying the Vandorens, I'd get the non-13 series. The non-13s have slightly more core and ping to sound and also respond better ...
One more thing ... Tom Ridenour makes an "Encore" model MP that supposedly has a darker sound ... and it's cheap, too! I think Tom's MPs generally have a warmer, cushioned and covered quality ... worth checking out.
