I would also consider the Meinl-Weston 46SLZ, as long as you are casting the net widely.

But they haven't been on the market long enough to become "used" yet. But because it is new, you might not have had a chance to play it. I thought it noticeably better (for my purposes) than previous models--big but not as much of a small CC sound as the piston SLP.

I would also add the Willson rotary F tuba. It's supposed to the same as the piston version, but it isn't. I might actually like it better than the piston version, which is saying a lot.
