Due to a sudden change of events(isn't that what always happens!)a Conn 25J has come into my list of considerations. I was just wondering how this particular horn plays, whether it has any notable quirks,etc. vs. the Miraphone 186/87/89/91 series. I know it's a farfetched comparison, but I need to know a little about it before we commit to buying it (it's undergoing restoration.) Also, this particular model seems to have the long-stroke valves. How does this affect the valves compared to the 20J? Lastly, when it comes right down to it, which of these horns would have more bang-for-the-buck?
