Hi! I have a Conn Jumbo sousaphone. To me, it has a good advantage playing against a 20K. The sound is deeper and more centered. But, that's only my opinion! I'm probably the only idiot that has ever marched with one too. I marched in a Memorial Day parade last year with the Jumbo. I received alot of compliments on the horn, especially because of its sound. Finally, as far as rarity is concerned, there are the two that are on ebay right now. There is also one out in California that a guy put on ebay two years ago. There is also one in Georgia.
