I played them both briefly at the display booth at the 2001 NABBA competition. The 842 does respond better and it was easier to play, but I preferred the tone of the 642 ever so slightly. The 842 has gold trim which is a definite minus, but has improved valve action (shorter throw) and a shortened first tuning slide. No more flat middle C's! Is the 842 worth the $1200 difference in steet price over the 642 in my opinion? Not in my opinion. If ultra quick response is what you're looking for, you better check out that 842 though.
