Of the two and year instruments I would keep the Olds. The Collegiates were GREAT student horns but I think the valves on the Olds Ambassador give it the edge especially in the years you specify. However I have a sixties vintage Holton made in France that I would keep over the Olds. Just depends on the models, years, etc. but most importantly the individual. I am sure others will feel differently.
