I prefer my "cheapo" Weril to any Besson/B&H (Imperial or Sovereign), Hirsbrunner, or MW that I've played. A friend of mine (who has money running out of his ears) just bought a Weril from me after trying both the Willson 2704 and 2900. He is a former military bandsman who now makes $XXX,XXX in the power generation industry (and has managed somehow to not pay a nickel for any of his kids to go to college). What a GORGEOUS(!!!) sound he has (after "laying off" for 20 years and picking it back up for three weeks).
I enjoy the Willson sound (if I'm up to blowing through the big ol' thang) but I like Miraphone euphotones very much, too!
Other than brands, what is your opinion regarding my original point?:
"The compensating gadgetry is an odd way of defining 'professional'."
