Midwest Musical Imports says:

Differences between S5 and S5XL models:
Most importantly, the S5 oboes are made primarily for the purpose of orchestral playing, while the S5XL oboes have more of a soloistic tone quality to them. Both have relatively thick bore walls, but the S5XL's are a bit thinner. The S5XL model also comes with a few additional mechanism adjustments for fine tuning, and an adjustable thumbrest. Lastly, the tone holes on the S5XL are a bit smaller than on the S5.

Is this true? I thought the S5XL had thicker bore walls.

Anyone try a Cocabola Wood S5XL? Like it better or less? any words Chris?
