At their website, I see 2 types, traditional and presentation. The presentation seem to be a bit shorter, and have a 4mm dot instead of the smaller 2mm. Will the prsentation pins fit a Larrivee L-01 with no modification? Anyone hear any sound improvement? If there is any, I imagine it is miniscule.

I got some from unclrob(thanks!)and installed them in the 03BW and noticed a somewhat brighter and clearer sound over the stock plastic. They fit fine. Now, I tried them in my L05MT and the holes are too wide for them on the hi E, B, and G strings. I use 12's so they may be snugger with a heavier string. They were so loose that if I turned the guitar over, they slipped right out. This isn't the case on my 03 though. I'm keeping them in the 03.
You would need dog ears to hear the difference.

I've used the presentation series with all the Larrivees I have had. They look and sound great. There is a noticable difference when switching from plastic. On some guitars the difference from ebony is more discernable than on others.
