Demo the C&T NE-R against the R121.

Its a really good and fair fight if you ask me. Bob Crowley's ribbons are voiced more traditionally, so you'll find a bit more forward low mid "fun zone" stuff, which the R121 really doesn't have. But both are excellent ribbons for a variety of acoustic and electric instruments, along with the rest of the gang, drums, and sometimes vocals.
