Yes, I saw the benefit of getting the Buffet one because there is no need to drill new screw holes.

I bought a Buffet thumb rest from RDG woodwinds for $30. They claim it is an original one from Buffett. I did not want to buy a cheap imitations from Amazon or eBay.

The tumb rest has been holding OK so far but I am not a pro and do not put so much pressure on it as I would if I played every day for a couple of hours.
Also, I never used a coin to tighten it up, only finger tightened.

BTW, I just looked on Amazon and did not find any of those cheap " Original Buffet replacement" thumb rests...
