The MW2000 is a handmade tuba for the most part. It is the same dimensions as the MW2155. Both of these are good horns and have their respective champions. However a really good 2155 is as good as a good 2000 at about $4K less. The YCB-822 is really a 4/4 piston horn that receives a large range of opinions. The YCB-861 is the 5 valve rotor version and usually draws high praise, but is around $9K. The MW's are good 4/4+ horns and can hold their own against the respective Hirsbrunner's and Perantucci's. If you like the Mirafone concept/sound/feel try a 188 and if you want something bigger than that try a Cerveny ACB-601. It will kinda feel like a 'fone but not quite.
