Jay,

Precisely (and the point I was trying to make by my own personal experience)!

As a matter of fact, my upper range with my "new" 3/4 F is a note or two shy of my top note on my Besson Eb at present, I assume due to differences in airflow, resistance, who knows.

I bought my small F specifically for the sound -- to blend better with small ensembles whilst playing a euph or 2nd 'bone part, NOT because I assumed anything about ending up with a better high range. That's MY job, not the tuba's!
