Hi Ross,
I play CC tuba and plan to purchase a Meinl 2000 at some point, so perhaps my take on this is biased:
I would just learn the fingerings. The instrument is optimized to play as a CC tuba...not as a CC converted to BBb.
However, Meinl Weston sells and can make CC to BBb conversion slide sets for any horn. I know of someone that plays a 2165 as a BBb, so people do go this route from time to time.
