MACK Brass F tuba?

Trying to see if this is another horn worth investing in, I remember the 186 clones that came from MACK and the two I played were WAYYY beyond expectation. I'm hoping to see if the F that's there is any good, if you know anything don't be afraid to speak your mind. I don't mind

Hi-
Yes, the new MACK F only comes with a gold brass bell and is excellent! The new F clones are 5 rotors and are clones-improved-of a PT-10.
Here is a You Tube video of a NE college professor using a MACK F in quintet...

Really? Sweet!
I like the PT-10P that I play on, but it just has no stability in the mid-low range (I understand this is unavoidable, but some horns are better made to deal with it), and just the one I have my paws on just isn't a prime example of an F tuba. Any word on the intonation? From my experience, MACK's horns are always spot on; Is that the same story with this one?
Also, gold brass bell? I dig

Hi-
Intonation the 5v PT-10 F clones is excellent---very smooth.
