My Jinbei sanke got benched as sanke because I insisted it was a sanke. It got judged as showa because the judges saw the sumi on the nose even though there was no sumi on the fins.

It really wasn't very good in either case. I just brought it so I could show the original owner how it was doing and to support the show.

Short version -- in practice I agree with Brady. The new showa is really bringing the refinements from kohaku and sanke to the showa class.
