The test just proved that neither sounds better, that modern ones sound just as good. The same level of sounding good means neither one is better than the other, right?
Edit: also, FTA -- "In total, 33 of the soloists’ guesses were wrong and 31 right, with 5 indeterminate." That's about 50/50 not 93%. They are the same. There is no difference except lore.
