Sticking to what I know works (for me).

Not necessarily. A similar cut and nunber of reeds would probably be a closer match. I don't make calls but the cut of the call, latex thickness, number of reeds and the amount they overlap all contribute to a calls sound. (Call makers chime in if I am wrong here). So two calls of the same cut can sound different and play differently. Know two people have the exact same mouth or calling mechanics so a call that is dynamite for one may be a dud for another. It takes experimentation to find calls that work for you and have a sound you think sounds good. I personally like a call that has a fairly clean front end and then drops to a light medium rasp. Other fellows like them raspy as all get out. Hooks executioner 2 is a call that I am really starting to like as well as the tom teasers cracked corn and a cody batwing. I have another I really like but I will keep it a secret for now.  . With practice you will be able to run most calls well enough to do the job. I don't carry a ton of calls in the woods but I would rather forget my pants than my diaphrams.

I hope I am not mistaking what you said, but two calls (similar reeds/cut) from two different makers may be different/harder to play, but what about two calls (from same call maker) with different cuts/amounts of reeds?

They will also sound different and have a different degree of playability. If you like legacy calls by all means try a few of their different models. Don't be afraid to branch out however. Diaphrams are frustrating. As soon as you find a handful you like then they quit making them, or so it seems.
