Out of curiousity, had your 'needs' (I'm guess, primary form of playing -
ie orchestral, chamber, soloist) changed with those horns? For instance
(and I'm just throwing random combinations together here), when you
purchased the R13, you were doing mainly orcestral playing, but later
began to do more solo literature, and found that the REcital fit it
better. Was that the sitch, or did you just find that each horn had
successive improvement over the next?
