Take a look at Rick Denney's website. He has a lot of good information there that will apply to your question. And you are correct. There is a difference. Play a MW 25, and then try a big Conn or Martin. The difference between the big round tone from a big taper American style horn, vs. a good large dark toned German horn is obvious.
