There's a lot good to be said about 1010s. Used ones are available in Britain for quite a lot less than anything else mentioned, though you do need to use the appropriate mouthpiece, and the sound can vary quite a lot from one mouthpiece to another. I've tried large bore Selmers, and they were quite different to me. I like how I sound on 1010s and don't on Selmers. With Eaton Elites, as noted above, the bore is tapered rather than cylindrical, he worked quite a lot on the tuning, he undercut the tone holes, and they don't have the Acton mechanism, which I think is too bad. I tried an Elite Bb and liked it better in all respects except the high Ebs, which the Acton makes quite fun. But you really don't get another instrument as good as a 1010 for the price they usually appear at.
My low E and F on 1010s are flat unless I do a lot to raise them, and the full B and C are high, especially on the A, so I'm not sure where the information to the contrary comes from. Maybe it's mouthpiece related.
Besides the "English bore" Rossis, he also sells a Vienna bore that's the same bore diameter. I'm not sure where the differences are, except for the relative lengths of the barrel and upper joint.
I agree with Paul about the old Wurlitzer German system bass; best bass I ever played on, and there was no problem cutting through. It's really too bad Eaton didn't attract some apprentices willing to carry on his designs.
