I have played or owned each of these horns. The 5J is a smaller horn than the others. It makes a good quintet or small group horn. It does have some 1st valve pull questions on the usual notes, and is a little narrow on low notes.

You will not be shaking rafters with the 5J, but it is a good horn for smaller people, and small group situations. I like the size of sould of the weril 3/4, and thre yamaha 3/4 4 valve front action horn if those are the size horns you want. If yo uwant a better all-around horn, then the Mirafone or Jupiter are better choices IMHO.
