Seabreeze,

I was told by a Taiwanese businessman in the '80s that Japan was the world's highest importer of Cognac per capita. Might be urban legend, though, and I don't think it's true now. In any case, the culture does value unique, hand-made stuff. I was stationed in a division band in Germany in the '70s, and switched to Oehlers. There was no shortage of low end instruments, and I bought one for outdoor gigs. Didn't want to bring the Wurlitzers to a beer tent, for reasons that should be obvious. Played Hammerschmidts first, and switched to Wurlitzers. The former were stuffy and didn't really seem to have the kind of German sound many of us like, though they did have a German sound. Boehms tend to have a standard number of keys and rings, but with "German system," the low end instruments have a lot fewer of them. In general, the more vent keys and rings, the better the tuning. Low end Boehms tend to have better tuning than low end German system. Internationally, price is probably a factor. You can play a solid professional Boehm for less than you can an Oehler.
