' only teasing about "teasing".

Yeah, I kinda liked the "old" Mirafone 5th valve myself... Since it was longer, it offered more alternates in the range where (actually) 6 valves would offer better choices (but not one here to really want to slip into a Rubinesque/Young contraption).

With the "long wholestep" system, I find myself yanking on the 5th valve slide (CC tuba) a lot more (and pulling it farther, to take care of, in particular the F-F# discrepancy) than I used to with the 2-3 length...Maybe I'm just imagining it (??). Anyway, to make old 5V Mirafones marketable, I don't hesitate to convert them to "long wholestep" prior to offering them for sale.
