On the lacquer vs. silver issue, I tend to think that silver (strangely enough) has a darker tone, it seems to knock out some of the higher overtones, have you ever seen an older horn that has silver plate flaking off? I think of the silver plating as like a shroud that covers the entire horn, soome horns sound great with the plating (Hirsbrunner comes to mind, other instruments may not sound as good with it, I can't imagine a 5/4 Rudy sounding good with silver plate, (I've actually never even seen one!) I could be way off base, these are just my personal observations.
