Hitting that note (Ab below lowest A on piano) is no great shakes...I have no problem reaching it on my BBb, and I don't think contrabasoon would either. Plus, have you listened to the tubax? Its sound is crude and somewhat repulsive (it doesn't have the same sax timbre like a normal contrabass sax). Granted I have never heard it in person, but it seems to also lack the agility of other saxes. The bass sax can rattle some foundations with the best of them, but I would bet on a tuba any day.
