Hi, i'm trying to make a very difficult decision here as to whether i go for the xl or a smoothbore...... i'm aiming for as edgy, loud as possible. I'm currently using a hard rubber berg larson 90 sms 1 with alexender superial DC 2.5 reeds.....i like it alot but i just need more buzz even on the mid range. after reading all the threads around here, seems like the smoothbore is just a metal version of xl .... which i personally would rather get a metal one because i already have a rubber berg. but i'm not sure if the smoothbore can go as hardcore as the x.l in the buzz section both assuming with the spoiler, so really appreciate with some feed back. thanks you guys
