This would also be a great horn to consider, if it is still available. It's a B&S/VMI Stencil so you can at least get a nice vote of confidence when it comes to quality and sound.
I think that is the one with the Symphonie sized bell, correct? If so, that one should sound really nice!
No, this one has a very very tall stovepipe bell much larger than a Symphonie. It’s kind of surprising how tall that tuba is (formerly owned it.)

I think there was an old B&S CC model that used the Symphonie bell, also branded Musica or maybe Gerhard Schneider, but it was a four valve version and featured the 45° entry and exit from the valve block.

Are you still looking for a horn? I have a mack 410 CC that I've been looking to sell/trade. I used it for the last 10 years and got a performance minor with it. Just looking to go back to BBb because I play more euphonium these days.
