i just bought the new meinl weston 45S (rotar), in january, and absolutely love it. I have also recorded myself playing many many times. I know we are not to confuse sound with feel, but the notes that "typically" are weak sound the same as any other note, but feel less supported. I personally love the "German" F tuba, and those notes are no problem. there are also ways of getting around them, with alternate fingerings. Dan Perantoni showed me to play Db with 1+5, C with 1+2+5, and B natural with 2+3+5. using these combinations usually improves intonation, and the notes sound and feel much better.
