Keith,
Drop me a line. I live on the north side of town and would be more than happy to talk shop. I own a very representative example of the german F tuba tradition that upon playing may strongly guide your tuba buying decision process. I also have plenty of recordings that you could listen to that may be able to help you decide what it is that you are looking for from a different horn.
In the mean time I can tell you that while the YBB-641 may not be my first choice it is a perfectly fine horn and is plenty capable of handling any of the situations you describe in your post.
good luck,
joseph felton
