Rob,
The list price for a new Weril 4-v CC tuba is nearly 2 1/2 times that much, and I know of people who use one of these professionally, although it is pretty much limited to solo/smaller ensemble work. You'd be hard-pressed to find a better CC tuba at twice that price.
The only other option I know of in that price range that would play as well or better would be the 5-rotary F tuba Chuck Jackson is selling. If you buy the Weril, I'd get some sort of protection for it, at least keep it in a sleeping bag or something until you can afford a case. I think Chuck Jackson was offering his F tuba, with case, for under $1,000.00, which is basically a steal.
