i have a selmer mark vi and a buffet dyanaction alto.both the best horns ive ever played on.lucky to have both.considering these two horns are in my opinion the best vintage horns.it is to hard to compare these horns but the mark vi does standout as a lead horn.the buffet is actually quite easier to play(keys,lows,range).the buffet is my personal favorite,lush tone on all notes and it feels like im barely even moving my fingers when i play.if ur goin to get vintage i highly recommend either of these horns.
