Jason,
Hi there. I bought the big Willson a few months ago, however, I am sure you are looking for a CC tuba so I will tell you what I can. I purchased the BBb model but when I played them both I felt there were no differences between the two. I love the sound from this tuba. You have to work so hard to get that particular sound on many other tubas. On my tuba the workmanship is perfect. I have had no problems with the valves or the rotary valve. I love the way it sits with me. I am a bigger guy about 6'2'', 220 so if that helps. I have played the Neptune and I really liked the horn. But for me, there is no comparison with the Willson. Now, when you get into price I am sure the Willson is more so that always comes into play. Well, I don't want to sound like a Willson salesman so I will go for now, but if you want some more please feel free to email me.
