I've been thinking (dangerous, huh?).  Our school has 3 yamaha 321's and one yamaha 641.  When my 321 was in the shop(all the valves broke), I used the 641.  That was a nice horn!  I got a really good sound on it.  Then a few months later, I played on a St. Petersburg, and I like that sound of it, too.  Does it seem to anyone else, looking at size, bore diameter, and playing quality, that the yamaha 641 is just an overpriced st.petersburg  with a laquer finish?
Or am I crazy.
