Kevin,
Most of us that dislike BRASSO only do so for one reason. That reason is, that every time you use BRASSO on a horn, it takes away some of the metal. Most of the people that use BRASSO use it a lot. If you only use it a few times a year then I say to go for it, otherwise refer to the thread below titled "Is there anybody that likes BRASSO?" for reasons why not to use BRASSO.
Finalt to re-silver a horn a silversmith will use something very similar to BRASSO to remove the oxydized metal, but he will only do it once and will then add metal to the horn rather than remove it, which is what happens when BRASSO is used repeatedly.

I appologise for the long-winded answer, but this is a very important topic.
