I switched from BBb to Eb two years ago and now I play Eb exclusively. I bought a Besson 981 and use it for solo, orchestral, dixieland, brass band and quintet music. So far, I have had no problems, although the bottom part in tuba quartets and some orchestra parts would probably have been a bit easier on a contrabass tuba. However, for quintet music and solos I think a bass tuba is the obvious choice - at least if it does sound dark enough to resemble a contrabass rather than a tenor tuba. I think my Besson does.
