Anything but the Meinl Weston 2155.

What is a 5/4 really? the MW2155 is really nice, but I'd not put it in the same size comparison with my Rudy 5/4 which feels massive sometimes. I really liked the PT 606p i played before, and the PT 6(p) are really good too. I haven't been able to spend a lot of time on other big horns.

That really depends what you want as to which is the best.

No one best 5/4 - its your choice!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

I'd put my money on the Rudy Meinl 5/4, (actually called the 4/4.) They have a great sound, plus, they can usually be found for very cheap in comparison to other 5/4 horns. Can't beat that.

And also a very versatile horn IMHO.
