I am a bass bone player.  I play the tuba relatively well but not well enough to invest more than a few grand.  I will be playing primarily quintet, concert band and eventually (three years from now) orchestra (hopefully).
Is the St. Pete worth $3000?  Can it really sound like a CC?  Is there a better deal out there?   
Loud and Proud,
