Well...go figure...for me, LO's last longer - much longer.  Maybe it's my mouth...

  Back in the days that I would ruin harps on a regular basis due to playing 
  style, SP20's were the only ones that would hold up for any length of time. 
  Not sure where this "indestructible" comes from concerning LO's-I've got a 
  pile of them with shot reeds in my junk drawer (yes, I am aware you can get 
  replacement reeds).

  Played hard or soft, LO's just last longer - but Special 20's have
  THAT sound, which is the classic Marine Band sound.
  A few years ago on the list, I suggested somewhat
  facetiously that Special 20's are like Gibson Les Pauls
  whereas LO's are like Fender Strats - by which I meant
  that 20's (and wood comb Marine Bands, for that matter)
  have a warmer, classic sound, but LO's play
  fast and are virtually indestructible.

  It's SO hard to choose one brand and stick with it...
