Jeff's vote for the 4P! I used to own a Kalison, and had the fight of my life getting notes without any inherent tendencies to play in tune. The valves also tend to get very noisy very quickly!
Additionally, the Kalison's construction allows for it to crease very easily... so you have to be extra careful... (something I was never good at! I'm clumsy with tubas!) A friend of mine is a sophomore in college now, and she bought a DS at the recommendation of her teacher. She treats it like a baby in taking care of it and adores it like it's a York, but still is having maintenance issues like little creases appearing out of nowhere, and the ever-popular problem with rattling screws around the horn. I think there are some good Kalisons out there somewhere, but finding one, imho, isn't worth the trouble. Spend the extra on the 4P.
