Try several Kings and pick the best one. The Phillips is small for band settings, though fine for ensembles. The King is easier and warmer to play (in my opinion, of course) than the VMI, though the 3301 is a worthy tuba. Miraphone 182? Do you mean 186? A fine instrument, if that's the sound you want, but very different than the King.

Even so, I've played Kings that I could easily put back down, and only one or two that I wanted to keep playing, so don't base your decision on playing only one.
