Concur with the slippage problem when changing horns, but overall, the BGs still have a wonderful sound that makes them worth that minor hassle. I get around it by keeping a decent amount of cork grease on the mpiece so I don't have to yank'n'twist too hard.

Super Revelation is slightly brighter (some say more soloistic), but that is somewhat subjective. If your mouthpiece/barrel/horn combo tends to the dark side (had to throw in the Vader reference), the Super will put a little snap back in the sound. I play the regular Revelation, which works great on a standard R13/Moenig combo with Kaspars, Chedevilles, and Gigliotti mpieces. It is also a nice complement to V12 and Gonzales reeds.

As many others have said, though, it all comes down to what works for you. Just find a shop that will send you all three on approval and keep the one that sings the best for you.
