Never played a PT-2 myself, but if you've got the cash and wanna buy another horn just for fun then go for it. Nothin' magical about a CC tuba vs BBb. It's just a hunk of expensive metal in your hands which makes you smell like valve oil.

Like any hobby, spend money on whatever makes it more fulfilling and does not put you in financial trouble. I would like to buy a bass trombone, euphonium, Helicon, Sousaphone, cimbasso, and a '57 Chevy. How many would make me money. Probably none, except maybe the euphonium, but it would sure be fun.

Ignore the "professional" advice you received to not buy a CC. I would guess that the professional doesn't know enough about amateurs to give good amateur advice. Just like One should not go to amateurs for professional advice. Neither is more important or better than the other. Be proud to be an amateur, if you are that.
