Sterling tuba e flat

[iCupboard]

I am in the market for a Sterling e-flat tuba. I will get to try one early september. A friend who tried the Sterling tuba a week was very enthusiastic about it and he said he liked it more than a Besson Sovereign. I have a Besson Sovereign with gold brass bell, I will let you guys know how I like it! I live in Europe and there is someone that is the sole distributor of Sterling, he will bring me the tuba to try for a week.

Are there more people that have tried the Sterling tuba vs a Besson Sovereign or other 3+1 tuba's? Thanks!
