I have yet to hear an Eb tuba of any type produce anything remotely approaching a "decent" false tone. To my ear they almost always sound weak and out of tune when compared to the rest of the range. Sure, it's easier to produce them on some instruments than others, but they still sound bad!

I would only recommend getting a 3 valve Eb if your budget definately won't stretch to a 4 valve instrument, as you lose so much in the way of range and versatility.
