Where do you guys get this stuff?

Me Personally? I got the impression that the Series II would be a great legit horn for the following reasons:
1) I play mostly concert band and classical music, albiet not for pay.
2) I played the SeriesII and found that it would be a very good horn for my purposes. I found it dark, smooth, with very good keywork, intonation, and consistent tone. I played it side by side with a series III and I thought the Series II to be much more in tune with my concept of tone.
To be fair, if I played more jazz or rock, I might have found the II to be better than the III for that as well. I mean, a good horn is a good horn, right?
That said, our lead alto plays a III, she has a very good classical tone.

First the Series II being a legit horn(ask any pro, it's not)

I find that statement strange. I believe I have conversed with a pro that has disagreed with your notion, and why would a pro be considered an authority on this?

and now this Java business

There I agree. There seems to be a bit of myth surrounding metal mouthpieces here.
