Try testing your playing ability with any combination of tubas against, say, Sam Pilafian on an Eb, or a AA tuba for that matter. Your argument doesn't work because you're comparing apples (Sam Pilafian's playing ability) to oranges (the versatility of the Eb tuba in anyone's hands). No, you're comparing apples to cardboard boxes. Roger Bobo once said on the tubaeuph list that if he were to only own one tuba, it would be an Eb. That being said, in the hands of a serious musician there are tubas of any key that could get you by in every playing situation imaginable.
