I use a Miraphone 188-CC with my quintet.  I have tried other horns including my Eb but I really like the sound we get with the larger horn.  I have never found it to be a problem balancing the group, but of course the group I play with really likes to play out.  But that is just my imput.  Of course were not professionals just a bunch of college kids who do a pretty decent job at weddings and Christmas partys.
