Hi Jp,
  They're essentially the same instrument, with the exception of the
mouthpiece, covers and associated screws, all the remaining components
including reedplates and comb have the same part numbers.  Even then I have
trouble telling the mouthpieces apart.

I can't tell any difference in terms of performance out of the box, since
just off the shelf even two of the same model can vary more markedly than
comparing the two models against each other - and that can be fixed with
gapping.

Cheers,
 -- G.
