I own a Bach 239 C, and it's a very nice horn. I tried a friend's new B&S C before a Christmas gig, and I didn't like it at all. Much more stuffy and dull sounding than the Bach. Of course, I only played it for about 10 minutes, and I've played the Bach for 23 years, so at best, I'm just giving you a somewhat biased first impression.
