Good Marching Horn?

I've played sax for now 7 years and I've been marching with a badly-worn Bundy alto from around 70's I think. I recently got section leader ... and I need a better sound. The thing just sounds... horrendous. Anyway, I have a YAS-82Z for concert band, so I can definitely tell a difference. But I don't want to march with the custom. So are there any recommendations for an intermediate alto that can make a good sound on the field, but not cost too much? I've heard Vito, Jupiter, Selmer thrown around.

    If I were you I would march with my YAS 82Z...It's not made of sugar.....Just be careful...Now on the other hand, if you want to play saxophone all your life, another sax might be a good idea.....But if you are so into music that you plan playing it for the rest of my life, why are you in marching band??

      Our company manufactures a marching band specific alto, and insofar as I know we are the ONLY saxophonE manufacturer to do so. It's our Bon Fils model, sells for $900.....you can see details at www.nationofmusic.com and we have quite a few videos showing this specific horn on our YouTube site, saxgourmetproducts. Let me know your questions!
