I played all the horns you mentioned at MIdwest last month. FOR ME, the small Willson had the best intonation by far. B-flats below the staff just popped right out. In fact, the only other E-flat that I have played that I liked better was the Meinl Weston 2141, but that is a larger horn. The other thing that you need to keep in mind is the weight. That Willson is a tank. It's obviously not as heavy as the large 3400, but is still very solid.
