Try it yourself and just listen.
I did the test for a former student of Roger Behrend (D.C. Navy euphonium). The former student is now a very fine band director.
When I played some excerpts from things he was familiar with (classic marches, Holst Suites' excerpts, etc.) his old "dungeon" fiberglass sousaphone sounded soooooooo much better than his fancy 5/4ish "contras" that he burst out in laughter.
