Sax-O-Newbie

I have been reading many of the posts on this site in regard to eBay "cheapo" saxophones in the $200.00 - $300.00 range. My question is this, does a Blessing B202 Alto Saxophone fall into this range also? I am a drummer/guitar player in a church praise band but want to add a sax to my playing of instruments. Initally I think I will rent a sax from a local music store ($39.95 for 2 months, and take a few lessons to see if I can get the hang of playing) but I also want to start looking for a sax without spending outside of my budget which would be $500.00 - $700.00 and that is why the Blessing B202 Alto Saxophone on sale at the Woodwind & Brasswind store caught my eye. I know there have been many posts on this site in regard to questions like mine, but as I read through just about everyone of them I found no mention of The Blessing sax, or is it just another rebranded cheap sax? Another option I'm considering is a midi wind controller such as a Akai, or Yamaha WX series. As you can see I'm just in the beginning stages of my searching. Thanks for your replies.
