If your concerned about money, you shouldn't waste your time looking at BBb tubas. If you buy him a BBb tuba, he will probably need a new tuba by the time he gets near college. Most pro's and college student's play on CC tubas; they're, in my opinion, much easier to play intonation wise, flexibility, tone, and projection. Overall they're just better instruments. I don't want to spark the age old conversation but I just wanted you to know that if he takes care of his horn, a CC would take him much farther and would be a better buy.

By the way, the Conn 56J in a superb CC tuba and is priced at around $5,000. Check it out for yourself!
