Hi folks, I've got nother question on the Superdynaction tenor: I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on this tenor:

But I've got just a few questions: what excatly is the difference in keywork and ergonomics between a Superdynaction circa 1967 and an S-1? I know that the S-1 is the next advancement for the Buffet, but what exactly is different, and is it a big enough difference to pass on this sax and wait for an S-1?
Also, I'm used to playing a 1925 Conn early Chu Berry horn: how will it be going from the Conn to the Superdynaction, or even the S-1?
It looks like a good horn, but I'm a little frustrated because the seller isn't returning my e-mail questions. I know this is a not an encouraging sign, but I'm still giving him the benifit of the doubt and assuming that the horn is good and he's a ligitimate seller. Hopefuly you guys can help me out with these questions.

Thanks!
Cliff
