You are right about the infinitesimal better response time of smaller variants of instruments.

I happen to own oval German and Czech instruments in Eb, C, and Bb (the illustrated Eb one is not owned by me, mine is in a much better shape):

Which one do I take, when I want to feel truly at home within the register covered by the ones mentioned above here?

My YEP641 3+1 fully comping euph with the main tuning slide trigger!

It is heavier than the ovals in every respect, especially it is a pain to hold in standed concerts, but it gives me, what I want.

Similarly my favourite trumpet is the large bore Bach with the most open gold brass bell. I would buy one from you, if I could afford it. However I have a very reasonable substitute. You would have a stroke, if I told the name of it, so I will stay silent on that point.
