The 601's can be good horns, but I've played a couple of real wall-hangers. So if you go that route, tread carefully.

You can get a lot of used BAT for $5900.

FWIW, I think you will be happier with a CC BAT vs. a BBb BAT. People talk about the differences between the two re: playing characteristics, and as the size of the horn increases, so does the degree of idiosyncrasy, generally. So if you don't care for the response or sound of 4/4 BBb's, chances are you'll hate the same thing in a 6/4. Of course there are automatically 1000 "yeah, buts", so the only real answer is to find a big horn that you really like (or can live with if your budget is small), and buy it. Then ask what key it's in.
