The BE 765 is not necessarily the best buy in 4 valve non comp euphs.
In fact it has only 2 aspects talking to its advantage:
a: the 3+1 valve arrangement, which I like very much.
b: the large bore receiver, which almost is a must in serious euphs.
However the intonation in the 765 is speaking strongly against it.
The Weril has 4 top valves combined with a large bore receiver. It outplays the BE 765 on any aspect.
And it even might be cheaper.
