I own a BBb Helicon, CC Getzen G-50, MW182 F and a beater Eb sousaphone. I first learned on a BBb tuba then switched to CC, then got the Eb (use CC fingering reading in treble clef - was a clarinet player, adding a bunch of sharps), then got the MW. For some reason, the fingerings are all reasonably separate. I associate fingerings with the different horns. It is like playing different instruments. My most comfortable fingering is CC, only because I play that horn more often than the others.
