| I believe both are great horn. If you have to choose one of them, which one do you choose? Why? |

Your trying to compare two different animals here. The blow and response is gonna be completely different. Both are great lead horns but you should try 'em first but if I had to choose I'd go with the Kanstul because I feel that it can blend a little better in a section but still have that over the top response you want when you need it. For me the "B" series are too bright for some situations. IMO  |

Even though I have two Kanstuls, I actually like the B5 better than the 1601 when I've played both. The response just seems to be a little bit better.

I would agree. If you're looking for a lead horn, there are few brighter and cut through like a "B" class Schilke. But IMHO, for section or solo work they just cut through too much.
If these are your only choices, then I would go with the Kanstul.

Actually I would consider looking at a Schilke B6 which I think is the most balanced and versatile of all Schilke trumpets.
