I`m a college student who is in the marching band/basketball band/wind ensemble and I have a dilemma. I`m looking at two different brands of professional Yamaha saxophones, the 62II ($1700) and the 82Z($2200). The 62 is cheaper but to my knowledge, the 82 is better than the 62. I may have to end up trading my old student model Selmer alto in for a new one, so most likely the new one will have to be used for marching band. I really need some help on this decision.

Thanks.
