Steve Goodson's unisons are definitely good horns.

Have you checked into Cannonball? I've got a Cannonball black nickel tenor and I'm supremely happy with it. Big tone, easy blowing, including altissimo. I haven't played the student models, but I'd dare to speculate they are top of the line student horns.

They'll help you out. You may not even have to post, just do some searching of the forums and you will find whatever info you desire I'd guess.
