Hi Mathew- You're looking at some pretty special horns. I bought a Rico Kuhn triple recently. If you are looking at the professional level horns, they all apprear to have substantial hand work and will most lifely vary in quality on an individual basis. But they will all be fabulous at that level so it's a matter of what sounds better to you and what feels better to you.
My personal experience was the Rico Kuhn had more depth and body in the lower register than the E- Schimdt. The Schimdt was lighter weight and had valves set closer together, which was easier for me to play. Good luck in your search.
