Intermediate Soprano Comparisons

Hello,

Am looking at some intermediate soprano saxophone options and the three that seem to keep coming to the front of my list are:

1) Eastman ESS 600 Series

2) P Mauriat System 76

3) Jupiter 947

Does anyone have any experience with these or other preferred options in the ~$2000-$2500 range?

    If you can find a local dealer...in all seriousness...try a Cannonball Big Bell Stone Series.  Got one a couple of months back and am perfectly happy with intonation ....key action....overall look.  They're sometimes hard to find...but to me, well worth the effort.  NO comparison of the Cannonball to the Jupiter..I TRIED a Jupiter and the Cannonball just blew me away.

      I did try a Cannonball but preferred the P Mauriat 76 or Yamaha 475 over it.  Anyone have personal experience with the Mauriat or Yamaha in terms of comparison or preference?
