The F cimbassi I've played have had a better low range than just about any F tuba, and were just marvelous instruments throughout all registers. My take on the BBb or CC cimbassi was that they seemed heavy-sounding, tubby if you will. I'm sure that there are good specific applications for the big guns, but I'd prefer the cimbasso in F overall.
