It really depends on what you will be using it for. I think that the Conn is a better all around horn because of the bigger bell. The Werils that I tried are decent horns, but I couldn't get the kind of projection from them that I could from a Conn 5J. If you are looking for something lightweight, or for small ensembles, then the Weril is a reasonable choice. Unless it is a Mexi-Conn, I would expect the Conn to be slightly sturdier.
Bottom line, they're both tubas.
