As far as slotting goes, I love a tight-slotting horn for most of the playing I do. Of course, that's assuming that the notes slot in tune! It's confidence inspiring when you play a note and it's instantly dead center on pitch. This allows you to concentrate more on phrasing , tone, and musicality as you play.
