The 981's are a good choice for something between a CC and a small F, as are the Yamaha 3+1 compensators. The Willson is big and sounds like a 4/4 CC in my experience, while the PT and MW Eb's are often not as good as their F and CC's.
The Besson 983 might be a good choice for those that absolutely hate the 3+1 setup, but the sound is approaching an F tuba, to my ear.
