I have played both in side-by-side comparisons and they are both very good instruments. On the piston model I find that the "slotting" in the low register is just a tad better. The piston horn is a smaller bore than the rotary model but it loses nothing in terms of amount or color of sound. Very sweet horn. I see a 5 valve model somewhere in the future for me.
