Hi! I currently own a Cannonball 98 Knight series alto, a Selmer(Paris) Series III alto, and a Jupiter Artist series tenor. I picked the Jupiter over the Cannonball Big Bell. For me personally the artist series has been amazing . My private instructor borrowed it just last weekend to perform. It has a solid feel as well as a good tone. My only complaint is that the action is a little slow. It is a solid interpro horn. In the end though it comes down to what works best for you.

The Jupiter Artist, while being an upgrade to your YTS-23, it would not be a great upgrade. Look instead on Ebay for an used B&S 2001 or an Allora saxophone on Music123 which is almost the same as the 2001 (still built by B&S). I have the 2001 and it's a player dream, superior to the YTS-62 and according to my instructor also to his Custom Z !
