Need Opinions on two Horns...

I'm looking to buy a new horn and need some opinions/reviews on a few trumpets which I had never heard about. I attended a trumpet festival and tried out many horns. Two that stood out were the Con Vintage One and the Stage One Classic.

I like being able to play all styles of music, but I do mostly play jazz and commerical stuff. The Conn Vintage One I really liked because of it's warm, centered sound (IMO ideally great for jazz soloing). My only concerns with it is if the sound could carry/resonate/play loud (for lead situations ext...) The Stage One Classic had many of the same charateristics as the Vintage One, but it did have a little more timbre to it(which would probably be great for lead playing stuff...)

I'm really leaning towards the Conn Vintage One hoping that maybe it would do just fine in a lead situation...

Can anyone give their experiences/opinions/reviews about either of these horns.. Conn Vintage One and Stage 1 Classic

Thanks for Any Help!
