I could not tell a difference with my iphone, but I could hear better with my AirPods. Yes, there is a discernable difference. The carved interior (banjo 2) sounds more full, well-rounded, deeper…more body to the tone. Both were great but i think #2 may have a slight advantage. Can you tell a difference in feel when you play them? Does the carved-out resonator vibrate more? I’m guessing it probably does
I hear the difference but for me I like the first one a bit better --a bit more solid, less overtones --but that is definitely a personal choice
75 year old ears might hear differently also

It does feel different with more vibration. It's a bit weird at first.
