Addressing your comment on the suitability of the Kalison as a starter horn:

Have you decided on the Kalison by way of personal experience? If so, than you should go for it. The Kalison is not one of my favorites and I would recommend others. But ultimately, your comfort level on the tuba you buy is the primary issue. If it fits you best and you've tried the vast majority (hopefully all!) of the others, then it sounds like you've found a match. I would only caution you against deciding on a tuba based on what you read. The folks selling instruments are doing so for one reason, to turn a profit. Their job is to say whatever is necessary to make you think that their product is something you can't live without. Obviously, your goals and their goals are different!

Consult with your teacher, or any other qualified professional who has no stake in whatever tuba you buy, and play test tubas until you find the one that fits you best. Happy hunting!
