I have both piston and rotary horns and find the 2+3 combo about the same on all of them. I can't "feel" any difference. A fifth valve could make a difference, especially if it is tuned to 2+3, not a flat 1. But I don't feel or hear much difference between horns. I also own a 3 valve Conn EEb, circa 1912. It comes as close as any of the horns to exhibiting this characteristic. The difference in the horns is that only this old Conn has a leadpipe which goes to the tuning slide loop before the valve set. All the other horns' leadpipes go directly to the valve set.
