Buescher True-Tone ergos?

Those of you who are playing or have played a Buescher True Tone, what do you think of the ergonomics? The vintage sax article on this site calls the keywork a bit "slow." What's your opinion?

I had a True Tone tenor and though it was a lovely horn, I found my right thumb would get sore after playing it for a while.

It was a button-G# model (193k range - 1926 vintage). I never found a problem with the button G# key, it was only the RH thumb.
