No disrespect meant to your doctors. Mine are at a CCC and very good yet they did not know about the new improved AMT mini one or even the combo G/Jet until I told them about it. It turns out that they had relied upon the major tube manufacturer (Kimberly Clark: MicKey) representative for information so they were not familiar with AMT's innovations. One heads up: I would not wait until next year to ask them to check it out. My doctors had a very difficult time getting the AMT button for me, they had to call 5 different suppliers instead of their usual one. Likewise, I had to switch my medical delivery company to get the AMT. But while the brand of the standard PEG long tube doesn't matter (they are all just a silicon tube with a balloon), most tubies on the forums prefer AMT buttons over MicKey for comfort, less granulation, and longevity.
