There's a reason they call it the saxophone misinformation site

As usual, they don't have a clue..........the price is $13,000, not $11,000.....we've sold 17 of them, all but one at full price (it was a demo horn from the first series which lack all of the features of the current production version)....they are NOT made in China.......we have sold two so far at the NAMM show....they will get delivery in about four months.......we don't sell and never have sold enemas or bidets, contrary to what has been reported on SOTW.......the ONLY Super 400 sold at less than list price was a demo horn without kangaroo pads and many of the other features......the Category Five is radically different from any of our other horns, and has verify little in common with them, including previous models which had the first version of the altissimo key, which has now been replaced and is MUCH improved.

As is so often the case on SOTW, the posters are talking with great authority about people they don't know and horns they have never seen or played and about sales that took place where they were not personally present and of which they have absolutely no direct or accurate information. They are simply speaking from bodily orifices which were not intended for imparting information.
