I am assuming that you mean the Mel Culbertson Neptune, if you don't please ignore this.
In my opinion the Neptune is the best big contrabass tuba that I have played. The main reason for my thinking this is that it is much easier to play that anything else I've tried. It feels like you're blowing a 4/4, whilst still having the sound of a 6/4. It is also more comfotable above the stave than most, not that's much use.
