Selmer TS200 or La Voix for an intermediate tenor?

Hi I'm looking for an intermediate tenor and have pretty much narrowed it down to the selmer ts200 and la voix. I have heard good things about both of them so now I just have to know which one i want. If you have suggestions about these or another tenor please answer.

    P.S. My budget is $2500 or lower. Hope you can think of something!

      I'm really not that impressed with either. For less than $2500 you can buy a Yamaha YTS 62, which is an intermediate-pro model tenor. The overall build quality is much better, they play better, and they have a nice, neutral sound. Unless you can afford to by a new Ref 36 or Ref 54, I wouldn't buy the Selmer, and the prices they ask for the Ref series, I think they're a rip-off!

        I'd second the YTS62. I tried the TS200, and it didn't impress me much. I liked the Jupiter Artist better, and it costed significantly lower. I have a YTS62II and enjoy it a lot. I got it for around 1800 a year ago, and it holds up to its price. I put a Larry Teal on it, and I am happy with the tone I get from it.
