I'm of the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" group. If you have found the tuba that works for you then stick with it for life. It appears to me that even though you say you are searching for that tuba that works best for you that you can stick with, yet history shows otherwise. Two years ago when you bought the Kalison is when you should've found that CC. And one year ago when you bought the Besson is when you should've found your Eb. If the Kalison and Besson didn't work for you then why did you buy them? You need to ask yourself if when you purchased these two horns, did you feel they were the horns you were going to stick with for life. The advice that is given most of the time about buying a new horn is to try everything out there first then purchase a horn. If you did this you shouldn't be in this situation.
