I am not going to go into great detail of the subject but I think that with the great advances in modern Eb tubas (Willson) and F tubas there are some that will ask the question "Why would anybody want to play a BBb or a CC when all you need for everything is a big Eb or F?"

I am and always have been a CC player but due to money reasons I may be selling my pt-4 CC to pay off my Willson Eb. I have played many CC tubas and when I find one that has a low register that will even match the one I have on my Willson Eb tuba then I might buy it. The more I play my Eb tuba the more I realize I can do just about everything I need to on it.
