When I was considering BBb again about a year ago (I ended up moving from BBb to Eb to F and finally to CC instead of back to BBb), I tried both the new King 2341 and the VMI 3301. Each of these horns were quite nice, each having it's own uniquenesses. I liked the VMI a little better, as I thought the sound had more core to it.
Having recently spoken with another tubist who recently tried a 187 BBb, I'm wishing I had tried one of these as well, for a sound that's just a bit larger than the 186.
