You could order a small island in the south Pacific if you are willing to pay for it. Custom is charging $17,000 for them at present. It is a great horn, but impractical for the majority of non huge ensemble work. If your work is not extensivelly large orchestral/band stuff then you might want to consider something less esoteric like a PT-6 or HB-2P or Willson CC. The HB-50 does not function well for most people as their only CC tuba.
