Ferling is for "the big boys (and girls)" so to speak. They really test your ability to get up and down the oboe quickly (frequent leaps of 8ves-13ths), tonguing of all varieties quickly (16ths at 120 or faster), and dynamic control, not to mention the standard endurance. If you can play all of the ferlings decently, in time and with a typical reed, you should be able to play 99% of the technical material out there.

The downside is they are musically not stunning, and nobody really enjoys getting their rear-end whooped up by them. Barret is more lyrical, and musically interesting, plus the musical tradition of Barret which Tabuteau used to push makes them more standard I suppose.
