because i started out with four flutes and none of them was the one i chose - in fact one of them was the di zhao 700 which is a higher model than the one i actually got
and i tried all of them and narrowed it down to two and then the flute guy brought in a couple of variations on those two models including my 600 that i got
i thought i was going to like the 700 most bc it was the nicest and it had a c# trill key and pointed arms and all that but then i tried the 600 (which had neither) and was like "well i can't pick"
so in the end i closed my eyes and had my mom hand me one and then the other and i played the same little bit on both and the 600 sounded WAY nicer than the 700 so i went with that
but the guy at the store was like "yeah there's virtually no difference in sound" and i was sort of thinking "yes there was"
