I play C tuba now and I think that playing multiple keyed horns does serve a purpose. Say you have a very technical solo in a difficult key with some odd fingerings. You might choose to play a Bb if it makes it easier to finger, or maybe a C. It's like choosing to play F to play solo literature and C or Bb to play in large ensembles. You could play the extremely high pitch solo on a Bb or a C, but wouldn't it be easier, (and also sound less strained) on an F or maybe an Eb?
