While I despise the YBB-321, I think the YBB-641 isn't to bad at all. It has a great blow to it, reasonable intonation, and when maintained, good valve action. Chuck Jackson will vouce for its playablility, and I have played one on my own that could hold its own against 95% of the BBb's out there. I think the older models were more durable than the new ones, but the 641 also survives better because it is better balanced when setting on the bell than the 321 which all have a tendency to tip over and get the "321 dent" on the small side of the bottom bow.
