its nice and refreshing to hear grimmel, evan1 and others give simple clear and concise description of the sound of these two horns.
Believe it or not, if you look and read around, most people can't or won't describe the fundamentals of the tonal qualities of a horn; as if it is sacrilegious to have a subjective though highly experienced opinion.
Yes there are loads of caveats, "you create your own sound and sound concept", "mouthpiece affects the sound", "different people sound different on the same horn", "you have to try it out to see if it matches your sound concept" etc. etc. ....OK OK I got it. All true...but there are fundamental tonal qualities to horns and they aren't that obscure or mysterious to characterize. They are somewhat based on bore and shape which are more or less immutable traits and influences to tonal quality, projection, character etc.
It has cleared up for me which I'd be leaning toward. I don't like a focused and "dry" a sound and I get the clear sense that the Vintage would be the one for me with more warmth and hopefully not too much spread
