Suggestions for upgrading-tenor

Hello all- I play in a community symphinic band. I've vome to the conclusion its time to replace my 1967 vintage Conn 10M (my understading is thats about when Conns started to go south) I'ts getting harder to keep in tune and to get sound on low notes. I've had it adjusted, repadded, etc- helps briefly, but thats it. I played another band members tenor the other day and had him play mine- he had the same problmes I did,and I was able to play much better on his Cannonball. Anyway, since I'm not a pro, I dont want to put too too much money in this, but want to buy something better than just decent. The Keilwerth EX-90 seems to be a possibility, but I would appreciate any suggestions- especially horns easier to play in low register. I can spend $1,500-$3,000 (with some flexibility) Thanks in advance for your help.
