2 frames of identical tube dimensions/butting/construction. one reynolds and one any other tubing manufacturer (true-temper/deda/columbus etc) and your easily led mind wouldn't be able to tell one from the other.
a good builder could make you a "stiff and harsh" frame from oversize 853 if you wanted.
seems odd to dismiss 3/4 of available tubing because of some spurious internet myth.
