How would this differ from the Special 20?

It would be great if Hohner could make a MB with a plastic comb, 
they've got the right idea with the MB deluxe being put together with 
screws, if only they had used a plastic comb.
    It's possible that this has something to do with tradition and 
stuff  but if Hohner made a MB with a plastic comb and called it the 
Marine Band 2005 (the year that it was first produced  would help future 
harp historians) and also made the standard current MB but called it the 
Luddite Special I bet the plastic combed MB would out sell the wooden one.
    The MB doesn't need any radical dimension changes, just lose the 
wooden comb and replace it with a plastic one of the exact same 
dimensions, line the comb up with the edges of the reedplates, every 
thing the  same  just get rid of the wooden comb and  nails.
