Hi Jim, 
 
Years ago, my college radio club (Case Amateur Radio Club - W8EDU) had both
a C-line and a B-line. The C-line was considered the better station. I
presently have a C-line and recognize that the performance is much better
than the B-line. One thing I know of is that the C uses a crystal filter in
the first IF (newer radios call this a "roofing filter.") This
goes a long way to increasing the receiver's dynamic range. Operationally,
it can hear stations that other radios will never pick up. The B-line uses,
I believe, an RC circuit in the first IF.
 
I am sure that the experts on the list will have many more comparisions to
make for you.

1) Electrical Performance Comparisons 
 
2) Mechanical performance (PTO tuning etc.)
 
Thanks,
