I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my MW2000. I have played quite a few 2155's and they do not compare to the 2000. This is not to say that they are not good tubas, just not as good. The 2000 gives a quicker response, smoother control over the range and much more consistent intonation. They both have the ability to sound bigger than they look. I have no problem at all playing excerpts on the 2000 and getting the sound that I desire. I would suggest playing as many of both models as possible. The 2000's vary from horn to horn becasue they are hand made. Mine plays more open than the last three or so that I have played. I am sure this goes for the 2155's as well. Have fun in your search and learn something along the way!
