high schools and colleges buy horns that are shiny and that match one-another....
"players" buy horns that play satisfactory(if not great)and invest repair dollars in good horns so they continue to perform.
collectors buy horns that will maintain or increase in value.
few horns fit in all catagories, you're lucky to find a horn that fits in two.
I am happy with the horn that fits in one catagory.
of course keep in mind that a wise man once said.....
A GREAT SOUSAPHONE IS STILL A SOUSAPHONE.
