Mozart Requiem

This is probablly a stupid question but i will ask it anyway. I have been asked to play Mozart's Requiem with two different groups playing first in one and second in the other. On the second part, I am using my C trumpet because the part is mostly in D with some low notes. However, despite the miniscule amount of playing, I was thinking of using my new D trumpet for the 1st part. Has anyone done this before? I thought 1. It would be fun to perform with my new horn, 2. The lighter sound of my D will be more suiting with a chamber orchestra and chorus than my full heavy sounding C trumpet. Does any of this make sense?
