You might call Dillon's and Baltimore Brass and check their prices on the Willson and I have heard good things about the new Meinl Weston 2141. The old 2141 had intonation problems but I heard the new one was much improved. I can't confirm it since I have not played one but if they are good and money is an issue the 2141 might be the way to go. I think the Willson will still have the largest sound of the two because it is the biggest new EEb around some say they are too big. I am happy with mine because I use it exclusively now and I am used to playing a fullsize CC and that is the sound I always strive for. There is one more horn out there that you did not mention is the PT22 from B&S. I think it has potential but I feel that it needs some more R&D before it will live up to the other B&S tubas.
