The truth is, we don't know.
I ordered Honduran RW because that was an affordable upgrade for me. However, when Jason started working with the wood I has chosen, he said it was far more reminiscent of madrose, although it had been sold to him as "definitely Honduran". On balance, Jason thinks it is madrose and Ralph Bown has had a good look at it and thinks the same. Ultimately, I don't care what it's made from - it sounds great. I would, however, expect honduran to sound zingy, all other things considered.
Cheers,
