The B & S ones do fine. Beware of the ones that play "too" well in the low register. Those usually sacrifice everything else for this. You cannot focus for the same written notes on the F as the CC in the same way, in general, and expect the notes in the range from Db down to B (Just below the staff) to come out properly. The same truth and concept applies to the comparison between focusing for notes on the baritone horn and any tuba.
