I would highly disagree. As far as tenor trombone goes, I think that the approach is much more different from tuba than euph is from tuba. And I do double on tuba and euph, and it took about two years before I felt that I was able to double effectively. I would recommend against getting the Yamaha.
On the other hand (to the original poster), if you want to learn trombone you might want to save your money and get a bass trombone. I think that a bass trombone/tuba doubler makes more sense than a euph/tuba doubler does (if you only think about playing issues).
