Ah yes, but the poster asked about the advantage of CC over BBb. There are good and bad horns in both CC and BBb (with good and poor response). All else being equal, the only difference (and only possible advantage of which I can think) is in the fingerings. Trumpeters often have a bag full of trumpets like D or A (keys which lend themselves to open strings).

the point being, of course, there isn't much of an advantage for the average "starving artist" to spend more $ on a horn so he or she can press down different buttons.

....but, I guess there could also be a psychological advantage, if a player thinks and feels in their heart of hearts that he or she is playing on a better tuba. (?)
