One option you have is to sell both the Yamaha and the Besson and find someone who has a Wilson compensating front action euphonium who would be willing to sell it to you. Then you'd have a larger bore horn, and still have the 4th valve operated with the pinky. This option though would be extremely difficult to swing as the Wilson front action compensating euphonium is rare, and is a discontinued model. The probability of finding someone who is willing to sell theirs is slim.
