I play a 52J and find it to be a very comfortable horn all around. The hand position for me works great. I have also tried 1291 and have found them to be very comfortable. If i were to get rid of my Conn the miraphone most likely would be the replacement. MW's I "personally" do not find as comfortable. The valves always seem a little too spread apart for me which never seemed to allow me to relax my hand. But that is just my opinion. either way good luck..... you'll definitely wind up with a great tuba which ever one of the three you choose.
