Well other than the extra bending options I've also read them called windsavers. That is one of the main things I like about them since I'm still learning to bend. They take a lot less air. BBQ Bob gave me some good advice about breath control on here because I was having trouble with them. Basically if you try to blow too hard you make no noise at all. Took some getting used to and now I prefer it.
