Instruments played on weekly basis

I try to keep up on the four tubas (CC, Eb, F, BBb) - how many instruments do you regularly keep ‘in service’?
Having multiple instruments to use is convenient but there are drawbacks too, chiefly, keeping track of the various playing tendencies of ‘hall versus home’ instruments. I keep three tubas at a concert venue, and have a couple for home practice.
The amount of time I perform on each is as follows:
Mirafone 188 CC (40%), Besson EEb Sovereign (40%), Yamaha 621 ‘F’ (15%), Besson BBb Sovereign (5%).
