Sound and playability Yamaha 891Z vs. XO 1634 RLT

Moin,
I'm playing an Yamaha 891Z and sometimes I'm not so happy with the sound. Now I'm thinking about buying an XO 1634 RLT. How would you compare them?
Maybe there are already posts about this, but since I've just joined the forum, I can't use the search until I've written 3 posts.
Thanks for recommendations

Try before you buy. That is the most important. And bring your current horn to compare also.

Never played the red bell. I find that the 891Z can get a richer sound and projects more than the yellow bell XO, but is more temperamental. The XO requires less finesse to (generally) do what you want it to do.

Before you decide to switch horns try one of the new Leadpipes from O'Malley Brass. They change the character of the horn in a positive direction and might be just want you need.

I am a great fan of the 1634RLT and never looked back.. I played them all in 40 years plus with exception of Shires, Thein and Edwards.
