I had a friend who played a Zeiss at the time I bought a Mirafone 186. I would venture to say the newer 186 horns play better than the Zeiss horns: (intonation, extention etc) but the Zeiss horn did something that the 186 horn didn't do. While the Zeiss didn't play nearly as loud, it did have a tone which really growled in the middle and it was as free blowing as just about any horn I have ever played. It was also more responsive than the Mirafone, and gave more feedback. These horns are definately in the same range of quality and were are to play. If you find a good deal on one, go for it.
