I'm not sure if you are agreeing with me or disagreeing.  Realise I 
didn't say they were supremely playable for everyone.  What I said was 
they were very consistent in set up as compared to other marques.  Your 
anecdotal offering seems to affirm this.  Now for me the gaps are too 
wide on the lower notes.  I can't get that bent vibrato I like unless I 
bring them in a tad closer.  I know we agree on at least one point, for 
twenty quid modern harmonicas represent a good value.  The quality of 
the finished products has improved by leaps and bounds in the last 
several decades.  fjm
