I do  believe I played and sounded much better on these trumpets than any 
other pro  trumpet I've have tried.  The center of each note was being just 
nailed  dead on....like I rarely play on my other horn.  These horns are much  
easier to
play constant at all dynamic levels and ranges.   

These horns were fantastic.  Again, I know it's hard to evaluate  a trumpet 
in a little over an hour, but I couldn't have had a better hour  playing these 
horns.  It was a blast.  If you ever get a chance to  try one....do it.  

Cons:  Thinking about how many jobs I  need to get or things to sell to own 
one of these trumpets.

And, as they say so often, "to each, his (or her) own."  I have had  the same 
playing experience, pretty much, with them.  My take?  I  couldn't even play 
a high G.  My upper range was smaller than usual and the  notes did not want 
to center.  I couldn't hear myself play -- and I  don't care how good it sounds 
100 feet away, if I can't hear myself play, I am  going to blow my chops out.
By the way, when I asked Dave about my upper register not working, his  
answer was that I didn't stand properly to play his horns.  Sure hasn't  seemed to 
affect the way I play on other horns.
I have never had a quarrel with his craftsmanship or the quality of his  
horns.  They just don't play for me, and as you alluded to, there is NO  horn on 
the face of the earth that would be worth that much money to me.
This is just my opinion and for those of you who like the horns and didn't  
buy that car you wanted so that you could get a trumpet -- go for it.  I  
repeat my statement at the top of this message.  "To each, his own."
