I'm currently working on the 2nd Strauss Concerto myself. If you are fluent in treble clef, you could do what I did. Order the part for horn in Eb. Then, with some adjusting of the key signature, it reads just like bass clef. Also, if you play the piece on an Eb tuba (like I'm doing), you could also read it like treble clef Bb trumpet music (i.e., open C equals concert pitch Eb, the open note on the horn). Either way, it works pretty well for me.
My opinion for what it's worth...
