cornet vs. trumpet

In a thread called "Venues-Small Room" the use of a Cornet was favored over mutes, trumpet, or Flugelhorn. I don't see why a Cornet would produce less impact/volume than a trumpet or Flugelhorn in the hands of a player that is capable of adjusting volume output of all three? In a blindfold test I find it difficult to distinguish the difference in sound between a Cornet and a trumpet...generally speaking, and not considering the extremes. I have a Cornet but haven't played it much, I need a mouthpiece for it. Someone straighten me out on this..................thanks, crow
