I'm considering buying a 2165. My question is geared towards those who own one and use it regularly. Of course it's big, but can you use it as an "everyday" type instrument? For instance, can you convincingly play the Vaughn-Williams on it, or is it only a "bus for occasional use" as Matt Walters might describe it? I have an F and a medium bore CC. I'm thinking about selling my smaller CC and getting the 2165 but I'm not sure that the F is my idea of the perfect solo horn - there are many pieces that seem to work better on a small or medium-bore CC. Any opinions?

Thanks!!
