Choosing an Eclipse for me

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O.K. I finally got a chance to play some of the Eclipse horns. At the Mobile Trumpet-fest, I played Bruce's (then collection) Equinox, Medium-Classic, Medium, and Large-Red.
1. Enjoyed the intimacy of the Equinox.
2. The L-R had nice mid's and low's. Soft (not quiet) high's.
3. Classic was dangerously bright when I pushed it in the upper register.
4. Medium responded well and sounded nice throughout the range.
Curious about heavier bells, copper horns, savannah finish, etc...
I play mostly big band lead (
www.bigbandofpraise.com). Also, I enjoy church solos and brass ensembles.
Have played/owned many of the big name "super-horns". Looking for a long term trumpet.
Would like input from those who play/own/make Eclipse horns.
