I own a 186. The question between pistons and rotors will probably continue forever. For me it comes down to seperation, pistons it is much easier to play with definition and clean articulation and rotors sound cleaner in the slurs ect... You can learn to articulate to accomodate the situation. As far as preference. I prefer rotors for many reasons including they are less maintenance, I have gone for months without oiling my 186 even with playing consistantly 3 hrs a day. The 186 is a solid all around horn. I bought one at the end of my freshman year and have not regretted it. Is the 1295 any larger? This would be the only reason I would go specifically with that horn. The 186 is somewhat of an industry standard for the level you are at.
That's just what I think though! Jim
