Generally speaking, the vitola are like this:

Siglo I: Tres Petit Corona
Siglo II: Petit Corona (mareva?)
Siglo III: Corona
Siglo IV: Corona Gorda
Siglo V: Cervantez/Dalia
Siglo VI: Cañonazo (new size)

To me, there's not a whole lot you can or are going to be able to do with a TPC in terms of blend, complexity, body and character, because there is a limited amount of tobacco that can be used while still maintaining the size.

As for flavor, quality, or whatever else might be a question about these cigars, I am not the guy to ask. First of all, I don't fancy the smaller thinner vitola. So, second, I have not smoked all that many. There are many, many others whose palatte is much more sophisticated when it comes to these questions than is mine. My forte is not discerning the subtle differences between such cigars, while doing so is the forte of several others who can give you better insight.

I have only had the siglo I once, but I remember it having a mild cohiba flavor. If you are looking for more punch, I would try a trinidad Rey, in my opinion, the best of the trinidad line.
