Anyone have any experience with the Alexander 1106 horn?  What are your observations?

I don't have experience with that horn (or any Alex models) but from the picture and description it looks like a slightly different tubing wrap from the 1103 model. It seems there's a lot of similar looking Geyer wrap horns popular now, and I wonder what might set it apart from the others. 
I imagine there would be a noticeable difference going to that type of Geyer wrap if you are currently playing a 'large bore' horn such as 8D or 668 (I play a 668N).
Is there something particular that you'd like that your current horn seems to lack?

According to Alex, what sets it apart from other similar Geyer wrap horns and their 1103 is easing the radius of one of the bends in the tubing for the F side of the horn.

I currently play a Holton 190, also a Geyer wrap horn. I know only one other person who plays an Alex and it's a 101, with a traditional Alex wrap, so he can't tell me anything about the 1106.

I think I might like and lightness of the Alex, if it's lighter than the Holton, but there's no data online about its weight. I'd also like to know what the change in the wrap does for the horn as well as any other info on its playing characteristics, pro's and con's. That's why I posed the question.
