Agreed. I've always played Firebird on my Bach 42.

My community orchestra is doing Night on Bald Mountain, Rachmaninoff 2nd
piano concerto and Firebird Suite on our next program.

I plan on using ny 88h with the Doug Elliot G cup and shank for the
Moussourski and the Rachmaninoff but should I lighten up a bit for the
Stravinsky? I could stay with the 88h but with and F cup or go to my Bach
36 also with the F cup.

Any opinions?

Quite frankly, in a community orchestra setting  I doubt anybody on either
side of the "footlights" will know the difference between any of the horns
you describe.  If you can play it all on one horn, use that horn.  If it
floats your boat to play a different horn for the Stravinsky, have at it. 
If it were me I'd be playing the whole concert on one horn, probably the
Conn.
