Roll Over Baffle Vs. High Baffle

Hello everyone, I hope you guys do not consider this a stupid question, for I really would like your opinion.
I've read that high baffles pieces are relatively easy to play due to the air stream moving quickly for a long distance, making the piece respond fast.
Because of their ease to play, it is feasible to have large tip openings and long facing curves.
So would you think that a Dukoff .60 tip opening would be harder to play than an Otto Link .55 tip opening, about the same, or no real difference at all?

It depends on the two mouthpiece in question. There are so many variables it's impossible to say. I will say that on tenor I like .105 tip on low rollover baffles generally and .110-.115 tips on high baffle pieces. Those play pretty similar to me. Again, it depends on the mouthpieces, facing curve, baffle heights............... Is this soprano?
