The Miraphone 186 and MW-model 25 are very similar in price and quality, and play about the same in my opinion. The MW 25 sells for around $4000 and the BBb Miraphone S186 (without the nickel silver trim) also sells for just about $4000. The "pro" version of the 186 sells for about $500 more. You can also get a MW-25 with a bell ring and some of the same features as the pro Miraphone and it brings the price to about the same level.

The Cerveny 686, which is similar in size to the Mira-186 and MW-25, sells for about $1000 less. I like the way Cervenys play, but they do have a little thinner metal than on the Miraphone or Meinl-Weston, and you have to pay extra to get the mini-bal linkage. I think that they are a good horn for someone on a budget who likes rotary valves.
