What I think I heard from Todd at TE was that they were replacing the valve machine (paddles, linkages, etc.) with their own Miraphone-style "paddle" version and were supervising the manufacture of the rotary valves themselves. As far as I know, you still get the crummy Russian nickelplate job, which is unfortunate.

Methinks it'd be pretty hard to replace just the rotary valve section with pistons unless you completely redesigned the horn's "plumbing".
