Not to worry.. I'm sure the offers to buy it are now pouring in.  :)

Ya gotta admit that the WBLs have quite a following and hold their own
against the Mercury's, Kents, Shurrs and other high end instruments.
That's why there's such a fever over finding one that's available.  I have
all of the above except the Kent in my stable.  Each gets a turn in
the main operating position (along with the other lower end instruments).
Each has a different feel.  I enjoy all of them, but keep coming
back to the V22 has one of the top favorites for QRQ.  The Bencher-
Mercury and V22 swap positions as "most favored key" as they get
rotated through the operating position, followed by the Profi.  Is any
one of them perfect?  Nope.  But that's what gives each one character,
while still performing above average at QRQ.

No one key is going to be the end-all perfect key for all operators.
I think that much we've figured out in this thread (I hope).  I liked the
idea of borrowing a key for a test drive brought up earlier.  If anyone
in the LA area want's to test drive a V22, Mercury, Profi or other key
in the stable here.. just ask.

Oh, by the way, seems every time I mention my V22s it's followed by
offers to buy them.    No.. they're not for sale.  :)

Happy Holidays to all.
