I'm going to make a contrary observation.

If you think the main purpose of a high Eb branch is to make
transposition easier, then you are not ready for a triple.  A triple is
a heaveier horn than a double, has more inherent compromises, and is
therefore more difficult to play.  Will this be your _only_ horn?  Do
you want to make things more difficult for yourself?

I'm not personally interested in debating these issues, but I urge you
to think about them for yourself.
