You also have to take into consideration the profile of the mouthpiece as both of these are offered as standard or profile 88 (sharper beak more geared towards american). You should also consider the reed, ligature,barrel and clarinet. Perhaps you could provide us with those? If I had to make an anwser I would say that the 5rv lyre may be slightly darker because it is a slightly longer lay. Although this is a great mouthpiece (I use it myself) I encourage you to try others in this price range such as the rico reserve x10 and the fobes debut. If really want a dark, open sound a b45 is best because it has a very large chamber that really fills up the horn.
