Canopus certainly has a strong reputation in the jazz world, it's not a mistake that you can find Canopus house kits in many well known jazz clubs.
Besides Carl Allen or Colin Bailey, I can't think of any other well known DW jazzers. Peter Erskine left and not many recall Tony's last few years with them. And if you want a Gretsch imitation, just get a Gretsch. Besides, if someone is buying bop sizes then it's already a specific market at that point and I wouldn't touch a DW bop.
