I have said before that if I were to buy a high-end euph, it would be with a trigger, simply because I'd rather have one and not need it than need it and not have it. That is still my position. I don't buy the advertising hype that the horn is good enough without a trigger, and as for testimony from expert players supporting that position -- well, everyone's experience is different.
