Were Chicago Benges "darker" than CA

I had a Chicago Benge several years ago and noted that, while light weight, it was a VERY dark smooth playing trumpet. It did not remind me of the the general sound of most Benge models made in CA. Was this model probably a custom or "fluke" or were the Chicago models in general designed to have a dark core to their sound? As long as I am typing - how similar in sound is the Kanstul CHI 1070 (.470) to the Kanstul .470 F. Besson?
