Default on sound only...not performance..help

ok, i know this has been asked a trillion times before, but i need some input from those who may have had both. my bike currently has V&H big radius 2-1. I am getting installed D&D fatcat 2-1 black. the reason for the change is strictly a performance issue. the fatcats match up better with my build. so, with the regular baffle in the fatcats, are they louder, deeper, or both over the V&H big radius 2-1. i have already made the decision to do this, so i need honest first hand opinions please.
