I'm happy with my Prestige, but soon (next year when I retire) I'm going to buy an Adams E3 as a lighter alternative to Besson. I had the opportunity to try one recently, E3 0,6 and I liked it. Hearing the opinions of the various owners of Adams in this forum I got a fairly precise idea of the model I will order: E3 silver plated thickness 0,7 yellow brass, no trigger, no AGR, water keys only on the main slide, vented valves, 4Th valve heavy bottom cup. Then I will have the finger buttons, the cups and the slides plated in ruthenium 65.
