I own both. they both play remarkably well in tune, and I love both of them
Pro for the 2280
1. quick, light, short action valves
2. Lighter, taller horn
Pro for the 274
Amazing tone
better in tune than the besson it copies
great build quality
a new one is significantly cheaper than the 2280
Standard large shank (the king is slightly larger than normal, and you cant use every mouthpiece with it)
I liked my 2280 so much that I added a 5th valve to it, but now, every time I play it, I wish it had the singing quality of the 274
I had an opportunity to upgrade to the Adams last year. went back and forth for a long time with the adams E1 and the Packer. In the end, I decided there just wasn't enough of a difference to pay $6000 for just to get a horn that was just slightly better
