It depends on what you are looking for. The 20J (what I play) is a big horn with a BIG ROUND tone. It is heavy to haul, but, capable of moving around well due to its short action valves. I have tried a number of smaller horns but have not found anything that is as satisfying to play. And contrary to what you may see discussed here, you can blend well on a 20J when playing in small groups.
