Technically, yes. Also technically, none of them are 15s unless that's the actual model number of them. It's commonplace to call them 15 clones, and it's easily remembered. Was it Nancy that said she LIKED to call them "clones" because it gave them a "sci-fi" aura?
A 15 has the tension on the faceplate as opposed to the front of the machine. If the tension is not on the faceplate it's neither a "Japanese 15" nor is it a "Clone".
Opinions are wonderful things, aren't they?
