We ended up choosing the MX-2 headjoint.

I’m curious to hear your comparison of the heavy vs standard wall.

I would imagine the standard wall is the most popular and common (thus “standard”) though one shop I spoke to said they mostly sell heavy walled Miyazawas.

I’m a newbie here and an adult amateur. I’m looking for a flute upgrade myself... Thanks for the reply, KJF. There were further developments with my local dealer: What I discovered the following day after visiting the local dealer was that the 602 she had was a discontinued model with a 0.38mm wall...

I took my daughter to our local Miyazawa dealer and tried out the 202 and 602. Sadly, they didn't have all the headjoint models to try though. In the end, I was ready to buy the 602 but it didn't have the Split E Mechanism. The dealer was insisting it wasn't necessary and kept trying to talk me out ...

I'm buying my daughter a professional flute (currently considering the Miyazawa 602). In my experience with other musical instruments (guitars, pianos, etc) prices are negotiable, and usually a 10-20% discount from MAP (Minimum Advertised Price) can easily be negotiated. I don't know if this is also...
