I've had a gold brass, 5-valve 191 for about two years now and I really like it. If you can afford the extra cost, I would recommend the gold brass and the fifth valve. I think they both add to the sound of the horn and the fifth valve really helps out the the low notes.
I've always been partial to rotary valves; but I would have also considered the 1291 if they had been in production when I bought the 191.
