The Finalists...

Ok, as some of you may recall, I was looking at a new horn some time ago. Well, having done research and shopping, I think I have 3 finalists. I would like anyone who has played, tried out, owned, sold, etc. one of these horns to give me their experiences, likes, dislikes, etc.

Kanstul 1500 (standard finish and silver plated)
Calicchio R32
Conn V1BR-GP (or whatever the gold plated-rosebrass bell # is).

The prices, that I got from Woodwind and Brasswind, are within a 100 dollars if I recall correctly, so that is not a factor on this one (and really shouldn't be if you wanna argue it). Any help would be appreciated.
