There are many fine BBb horn in the size and price range you want, and most have been recommended already.

Sometimes, but I would think it depends more on whether you are a performance or an education major. Performance majors should really think about switching, but education majors will most likely be teaching BBb tuba to their students when they get a job teaching school. So I don't see the big need to switch if you are planning to be a teacher. Don't let anyone "force" you to change if you really don't want to.

With a $10,000 budget, this would leave you with more than $6,000 to get a case (and an Eb or F tuba too).

If I were in your situation, I would buy a new King 2341 and with the leftover money buy a an Eb or F tuba.
