Why did Monette go back to small

In the mid - late 90s it seemed liked Monette horns kept getting bigger and bigger and the literature made it sound like the older more "conventional" weight horns were inferior. As we got into the 00s it appears that the horns are going back to a more "conventional" weight. The return of the classic Monette horns. I even see some of them in silver plate. That was a big no no back in the early Monette days. Horns were not plated!

Did Monette determine that bigger is not better? Did the market just demand the smaller horns?
