Ken,
You make a good point. If you have the ability to try before buying, it's probably best.
I have asked the dealer here in town where I have all my horns serviced, and where I purchase all my accessories, etc... He has told me that the difference between the two horns is the egg shape ream in the bell. According to him, there is no difference in the bore. I've heard from other less trusted sources that the RC is tuned to A442. According to Boosey the lower joint is "conical" while the upper joint remains poly-cylindrical, and the horn is available tuned to 440 or 442.
The only person I know to ask that would know the absolute facts would be Msr. Kloc. He would probably know if the bell could be interchanged without affecting intonation. A group from the University is planning a trip to the Buffet distributorship in California. I will pose the question while I'm there, before ordering the bell.
