the true comparison should be the 182 vs the 184. the 182 is the rotary version of what took the 184's place.
then 1271 tends to be slighty stuffier in the lower end because of the smaller piston bore. the 184 has a 77o and 800 bore on the 4th which gives it a great lower end.
the 1271 and the 182 are both built like tanks with lots of bracing and it makes it a heavier 3/4 tuba. The 1271 is a fine piston 3/4 tuba but the 182 has a more open feel like the 184 had.
The principles of the 184 and the 182 are similar in the way they are built.
