I have added LOTS of new models to my page where you can compare intonation of compensating euphoniums. This time around I even added a few of the mid-priced models. Can can select any two (or more) and see superimposed graphs of their intonation:

The NEW additions include Besson Prestige, Miraphone 5050, JP Sterling, Gemeinhardt, Jupiter XO, Willson 2960, and Wessex Dolce Cantabile.

Already on the page were Adams Custom, Besson Sovereign, Miraphone 1258, Hirsbrunner, Kanstul, Sterling Virtuoso, Willson 2900, and Yamaha 641.

The main page linked above has a link to a post explaining my methodology in case you are interested.

Thanks, Dave. The Adams Custom seems to be the clear winner by far.

Yup, which is one of the reasons behind my switch to Adams. But in fairness, for those who don't mind using a trigger, some of the other horns look good in that most of the "bad" notes are sharp and would be fixable with the trigger.

For me, though, I enjoy not needing the trigger. A trigger mechanism adds more weight, lessens the resonance of the horn just a bit, and is a possible point of failure (as I found out once when Delta Airlines squeezed my Sterling case a little too much).
