I have 3 euphs in my arsenal.
A MW451, a Besson 967 and a Besson Prestige. It all comes down to what suits you best. I use the prestige for band work, but will be using the MW451 for a National solo competition in two months time.
I find te MW451 is easier to play right through the range and particularly in the upper register.
The MW451 has a slightly larger bore than the Besson range, but as I said before speaks more easily.
The only note i have a problem with is high C# (treble clef), but my lip has started to compensate.
I think the MW451 is very good value for money.
