A really good 186 5U (from the late 1960s) will be a much more versitile instrument than the little Rudy. You will feel like you are fitting in in more situations with it. But I would NOT mind having a Rudy - just a larger one.
Both are very good horns. I just feel that the Mirafone will give you a broader brush with which to paint. Your mileage may vary.
