Thats my experience with the Xeno too. I prefer teh Mark II to the Xeno and thought the Xeno was a step backwards. Havent tried the "Chicago" model yet.
Does anyone else have this problem, where the local dealers have given up stocking pro horns at all. It is like an open invitation to order from the brasswind. So unless I go to Midwest or MMEA I dont get to try horns out at all.
