Due to the more open wrap, Geyer horns have beautiful slurs, but you will have to tongue a little harder for the attacks. I used to play a Geyer and all those soft, legato solos can be easily and beautifully done on it. The Geyer is also better to look at, with all the extra tubing out the way (me being superficial here =D) You will need more air to control the Geyer, but its low notes sound wonderful and the good Geyer horns, eg. Ricco Kuehn, have a very good high range as well
The Kruspe usually has a good strong attack and conversely, slurring is a little harder, esp. if you changed from a Geyer to a Kruspe. I own and play a Kruspe horn right now (the Geyer was my school instrument) and it took me quite a few practices to get back my slurring. I think Kruspe horns also tend to be easier to overblow than the Geyer, but maybe thats just the school horns ;p
Personally, I like Geyers better. But the Geyer wrap horns tend to be more expensive (its just a trend i noticed)
