It sounds like you have been given good advise. I have owned two tubas myself. I did not own or play the model you have. However, there is nothing wrong with upgrading if you have the means. I still miss my Miraphone 186 and my Conn 20J. If you are going to upgrade then keep an eye out for a good used tuba and play it first, if possible. There is a tuba forum called Tubenet - http://forums.chisham.com/ where you can get more advise.
