Will you build me one of your custom Eb tubas for me if I get this Wade? Seeing this made me consider it....

Again, I consider myself to have gotten lucky in this regard. so purchasing one is a crap shoot, at best. And paying someone for parts and labor to modernize one can end up costing as much as a used horn that is ready to play from the factory and that will work well without question.

Your "big advantage" is your skills. Having all of the work you have done to make that horn work would be pretty costly if it was hired out.
