I'll be buying and new tuba soon and deciding on which has become a bit of a struggle. I'd like more info on the B&S Peratucci line. I "test drove" (applicable term when price is considered) both the PT-6P and PT-7P and fell in love with them both. I like the mass of sound I can get out of the PT-7 but the PT-6 is more affordable. I understand that the Culbertson Neptune is essentially a clone of the PT-7. I haven't heard much about them and I'm curious. I also tried the Miraphone 188 but it didn't impress me like the Perantuccis, but again there's the price issue. Are there any others I should consider? Also, should I buy factory direct, through a dealer, or do I have a choice? Do you finance something like this???...so many questions, so few dollars! Important and expensive descisions must be made...Your help is much appreciated!

Thanks
