I agree. When I had my miraphone 186, as beat up as it was, there was no need to learn any new fingerings.........until I tried 3 different Getzens. And it became quite clear that was the horn for me. So a year later I got one, learned CC fingerings, and I'm having the time of my life with it.

I've got a feeling, though, if I played your 187 I'd begin to like it as well--I just love the mirafone sound and playing characteristics. A friend here at Tech has a pristine 188 CC, and I nearly traded my Getzen for it, until I found one note that gave me trouble. It really all comes down to what you like and what you're willing to put up with to get what you like.
