Devin,
I've read wonderful comments, but there was one I'd like to add. A good, or great tuba for you is the one that does all these things for you, and easily, and is not necessarily what someone else thinks is the ultimate tuba. That being said, when shopping for a tuba, bring along a musician whose ears and musicality you really trust and admire, and have them comment on what you sound like with different instruments. I bought the most exquisite CC I have ever owned when I took a fine professional oboist with me. I subtly sensed that the instrument I bought was better than the other three (all four were the same model), but to the oboist listening, the difference was obvious. I hope you find an instrument that makes you happy every day.
