I own two out of the three (the Willson and Yamaha) and have extensively play tested the Miraphone. I thought as a group these three horns were the most in tune on the market. Although I've heard reports that intonation on the Miraphone is inconsistent from horn to horn....Can't verify that. As far as consistency, Yamaha reigns king and I'm told the Willsons are pretty durn good too (at consistency). At the 2002 ARMY-TEC I played a lineup of 5 Miraphones and couldn't tell the difference (not that I would be able to detect subtle differences in that environment anyway).

As far as tone quality, that is an extremely subjective, touchy subject...play 'em all and let the horn pick you. Don't forget the Bessons, Meinls, or the Yamaha 842.
