Tempo for Golland Scherzo

Can someone, that knows, give me an approximate tempo in beats per minute for John Golland's Scherzo for Tuba? I would like more than just "allegro generally means..."
I've been pushing it up into the 180's, more of a vivace in 1, but the piano part seems to keep it around low 100's, something a bit more romantic. My accompianist has made a pretty good argument for the slower tempo. And yes, she can play it fast.
Thanks,
Dave
