I disagree completely. There is no law saying that you need to play a CC to play professionally. Last year my tuba teacher suggested that I think about getting an Eb as my first tuba, and after some initial doubts, I decided to give it a try. I bought a Miraphone Eb and haven't looked back since. Having a largish Eb as my "little" tuba opens up getting a 5/4-6/4 CC or BBb as my bigger horn later on.
Btw, I prefer both the Miraphone BBb I'm renting and my Eb to any 4/4 CC I've ever played, any day.
