I don't know about the brass options. I thought it was only in yellow brass. It definitely did not play like the Eroica. To my recollection, it had a bit more resistance, with a nice buzz to the sound in fortissimo. Not quite so 8D-ish as the Eroica in mezzo-forte, but I wouldn't classify it as a "bright" horn either. For me, it was just more lively.
