My experience with Reliable (i can double check, but that rings a bell as the engraving) is a helicon light enough to be played under certain weight restrictions while recovering from something. It felt a bit tempermental, but you could get respectable sound out of it.
That was a BBb, so i still wonder how the Eb stacks up.
