The DW 2L was changed in design around 1999 and the result projects better with a slightly darker sound. I have all the tuba Wicks except the 3SL. I recently bought the 3XL which is half-way between the 3L and The 2L in terms of projection and dynamic range. I like the 3XL and the 2L but may stay with the 3XL because the response and resonance is better on my EEb. If you check the archives you will see that people have found the 2L hard to use--intervals, etc. and they prefer a shallow but I think if the embouchure is right and the air support is good, there is no problem and the strength of sound is good. I now think the 3XL is better in terms of matching my Imperial EEb.
