I have played and marched with King 1250's, Conn 14k's, and their fiberglass counterparts, including a 1st generation King fiberglass for all four years in high school. You are better off with a real 14k with a 24 inch bell. What minor bit it is heavier is more than offset by the weight being evenly distributed, and the tone being so much better. If you must get a fiberglass, get a pre-cyborg King, because the narrower bore will help lock in your intonation from basically nonexistant to something approaching intonation. At least that's my experience.
