I have heard of many instances when getting the hand is as much related to the tone as to the volume - a brighter sound like an F tuba might get the hand before a louder but darker sound, as the CC is not cutting as much. Similarly, a 4/4 Mirafone may get the hand much sooner before a Yorkbrunner. It is as much the 'perception' of the tuba sound as it is the pure db.
