You didn't post underneath my post, but I assume that you meant to post under mine.
When reviewing instruments, I pay the most attention to:
- scale (The instrument must "speak the language" in order to communicate.)
- sound (The instrument must speak the language in a pleasing manner.)
I also react and show preference to a certain "feel", though that is of tertiary importance. The Weril and Willson euphoniums "feel" totally different, but they both have a great scale and offer nice - though different - sounds.

Back to the main topic, I believe the Willson 2900 "trumps" the MW & BH because BOTH the scale and feel (to me) are superior with a Willson 2900. As to the sound...most all good euphoniums sound nice.
