Let's try not to use the "same sound" concept.
I think it's all about sound. You can't take that away.

My opinion is that if you have all different makes that are some what moderate they will create a tone together. Kind of like adding stops to an organ.

When you get a section that says "to play here you must play this trumpet",
I think that is an extreme, but it can't hurt.
