What's the difference between different vintage Selmers?

Hi, I'm in the process of buying my first real saxophone; I've been playing for about 7 years and have had some major sax trouble. A few years ago I bought a Norton (biggest mistake ever); I have completed my Higher School certificate (Australia's final year of school) with this saxophone. It was resently damaged when travelling with a marching band and has been written off. For the past 3 months I have been playing a saxophone that was bought for a student that has quit; $200 from ebay kind of quality. I know. Gross. I am now making a major upgrade. I have settled on a vintage selmer as I am looking for that big, fat, full Jazz sax sound. But what sort of Selmer should I get? I keep seeing Mark VI and Super Balanced Action; what are the pros and cons between them or should I be looking at another Selmer? Would really like to hear what experienced players think and what the would do. Thank You
