It depends on what you are looking for.  The 20J (what I play) is a big horn with a BIG ROUND tone.  It is heavy to haul, but, capable of moving around well due to its short action valves.  I have tried a number of smaller horns but have not found anything that is as satisfying to play.  And contrary to what you may see discussed here, you can blend well on a 20J when playing in small groups.
