When I was doing quintets, I used an Amati rotary Eb. Didn't get a good feel for it because I soon switched to trombone in that group.
Now I have a Mirafone 183(?) rotary Eb w/ recording bell (both the Amati and the Mira are very F like in responce and tone). If I start doing quintets again, this horn is defenatly going with me.
Why? I feel my CC is too big, and I prefer the way the bass tuba blends with the trombone and horn (although I would prefer the CC out for walking, jazz style, bass lines and the like, when you need a sound that is more felt than heard)
