Lots of talk about the CB tenors- what about the Big Bell Altos?

To make a long story short:
In 1999 I A/B'd the CB alto with the Selmer SA80II alto. Selmer won.
In 2001 I A/B'd the CB tenor with the Selmer Series III tenor. Selmer won.
In 2002 I A/B'd the Big Bell tenor with two different Series III tenors and my own JK SX90R. Cannonball beat Selmer but not the JK. (although it did come close)

I own a Series III alto and I'm thinking of making a change.
How do the Big Bell Altos compare to the Selmer and JK altos?
Are the Big Bell Altos as good as the Big Bell Tenors?

Hmmm....
No CB alto players here?

I've got a Mad Meg model alto that plays fine. I'm mainly a tenor guy, though...

I own a CB Black NIckel plated model alto and I love it. If you want more info, contact me at WalterNak8@yahoo.com for extensive details on the horn and how it plays.
