Having tested both at some length in direct comparison I completely  
agree

My experience with promasters have been they last at least 3 times as  
long as a Hohner, usually longer.
With that in mind, the Fabulous may be cheaper in the long run

Hohner changed the reed profiles on Classic models (Marine Bands, Sp. 
20, Golden Melody) some years ago and they are now extremely durable  
as well as more responsive. The Fabulous is easily the most expensive  
series model harmonica on the market today, so it's going to need to  
last a very long time to be cheaper. You'll need to keep polishing  
the silver too, or it may tend to tarnish,
