Soprano sax (best choice under 2k)

Hi! I'm new here, hello to all!
I'm trying to buy a used straight soprano sax, i play alto tenor and baritone;
i love the ones that come with the bend neck but they are out of my budget (my dream is yss62r silver )

my choices were between :
-yss 475 (i wish i could get 675 but you can get it under 2k)
-paul mauriat system 76 2nd (here you can get the one with two necks or the one-piece only; does something change (tunning, sound) between the saxophones that have interchangeable necks and the one-piece only?
-yanagisawa ¿? could you recommend me something here? 


i appreciate your answers and im open to extra recommendations

thanks!

    For under $2K, the Eastman one piece curved neck gold lacquer soprano sax is amazing. Tuning is as good as a $4000+ Yanagisawa. The Yamaha 475 is also really good but more expensive. Give me a buzz at Saxquest and I'll hook you up with a good deal on either. I would recommend starting out with the Eastman and if it doesn't float your boat exchanging it for a Yamaha 475. Both of these horns are amazing!
