I just tried one and really loved it. I actually just finished posting the same question you did by mistake.
After trying the horn, I realized they are only listed as an intermediate level horn. If you look at the specs of the ST308 and ST101 and st 105 there do not seem to be any differances in the horns!
I was offered a used one for $625 and I have seen them new for about $900.
I play on a $3000 "Superhorn" and this student model line feels and plays so much better! I am now really confused
