I'm talking older Yari not 2018 Debonair
Much of a difference between 32 and 35mm chassis?
Is the damper different as well?

night and day.
Quite a significant difference in feel/stiffness between 32 and 35mm, so depends what is important to you really, and the type of riding.
What you want them for more importantly, huge difference in the construction so depends what you are hitting with them. Damper upgrades are cheapish on the Yari though
Big difference in Reba vs Yari I’d say. I had a 2015 Revelation which I ran in 130 and 150mm travel. At the time it felt fine / not flexi. Since then I’ve had a 160mm Yari and the extra precision through rocky stuff is noticeable.
If you’re only running say 130mm travel in either and you’re on a hardtail and not charging through rock gardens etc then maybe the Reba is a good choice as it’s quite a bit lighter - but for what I do I’d take the extra weight and stiffness of the Yari if buying a new fork.
I still have the 160mm Yari on my big bike and a 2006 U turn Revelation on the ht. You can tell the difference, but I only really use the hardtail on fairly flat / twisty / flowing trails so the Rev is more than enough for that.
Not really answering your question specifically, but, i've just gone from a 32mm Revelation MoCo to a 35mm Pike Charger on my 120mm travel hard tail. Night & day difference. The Pike is significantly stiffer in a great way, point & shoot confidence inspiring. Damping wise the Charger is a significant improvement over the MoCo damping, particularly on repeated hits (i'd read about this & its true) & when travelling at speed.
Now i've got the suspension settings sorted (4 tokens for me), its a great fork.
Check out the German sites for a decent price, the Revelation is now a 35mm chassis like the Pike / Yari.

Dig around on their site for deals on RockShox & Fox.
Regarging your damping Q - i think they'll both be Motion Control (MoCo) damping.
