Hi,
I currently own the 882O (no removable leadpipe) which is very similar to the R model. I can recommend it and have played on it for about 7 years and no problems with it. The valve is noisy however (if that bothers you) but the range is clear all the way up. Not the most responsive trombone I've played but a good instrument none the less.

The valve shouldn't be noisy... have you lubed all the linkage?
As to OP, they are pretty solid. Nothing special on average though.

I really liked the 882GOR I tried at ITF this year. In my opinion it was the best playing Yamaha large tenor at the booth, slightly ahead of the 882OR.
Yamahas are solid horns - I've found they don't provide as much feedback to the player as other horns, but the sound out front is generally really solid, you just have to trust it a different way.

882OR and 882O are different horn beyond the removable leadpipe... You can compare the individual components at
www.yamaha24x7.com. Bracing, valve, valve tubing, slide crook, leadpipe. They share some parts but there are significant differences, especially in how they play.
Ko-ichiro Yamamoto, David Finlayson, Larry Zalkind along with many other professionals (military bands) play / have played this model.
