When in 10th grade, my school got 5, model 201N (I believe)
Every one played diffrent, Some more open than others; some better intune than others. I had 3 years with one, so here's what I thought of that one.
good intonation (I think I must have had the only one that played intune, this seems to be one of the biggest complaints); thin sound, with not too much character (but that could have been me); bad valves (one person's linkage flew off during rehearsal, each lost the adjustmant screws on the linkage); very thin metal (each one got creases in the bell while in the case); sound distorted at high volums WAY too easily; slide alignment was quite poor; stuffy 4th valve, plating was thin, and wore through fast.

I don't know what has been done to the model 202, so I don't know how these may apply to those horns. This is just my experiance
