MAW Valves for PT6

I recently got a PT6P and am curious about MAW valves. Those who have switched from a standard PT6P to one with MAW valves, what was your reason for doing so, and how do you feel the instrument plays now compared to before? I am new enough to this horn where I haven't identified any problems I want to solve yet, but am curious about the MAW valves. Maybe this is weird, but does anyone live in or near michigan and have a pair of MAW valves for a PT6P I could trial?

Thanks!

I put them in my PT6P and I thought they made a big difference, especially in legato playing.

Not recommended. A smaller mouthpiece is a much smaller investment should more acoustical resistance or a lighter sound be the goal. The Chops Dyno System which I developed costs even less and serves the same purpose, at the mouthpiece. This does not interfere with the excellent qualities of the "B & S" PT-6P.
