Note to all prospective tuba buyers seeking free advice (worth exactly what you pay for it) on a public forum: If you really want good advice, define your playing intentions, your sound concept, your budget, and the experiences you've had with current instruments. Then, do some research on websites to have a clue about the choices you are presenting. You should also give us an idea of your teacher's suggestions.

The instruments you have listed are all so different that comparing them is impossible. In any given situation, any of these instruments might be ideal.

Except maybe for the Willson 2900, which is only useful for one or two tuba parts in the entire repertoire. It makes a right-nice euphonium, however.
