hey big guy,
First off, WHAT DOES YOUR TEACHER SAY???
OK, that being said, My experience is that when you have different size/type horns that serious play/performance on each is more challenging when each horn is meaningfully different from each other.
What I mean by challenging is "second-nature" playing suffers.
What I mean by meaningfully different is style, type, response, "feel", et...
I really think you should be discussing this, and making your decision with the help of your teacher, that IS (after all) why you take from them, isn't it?
