While I agree wholeheartedly with Dave Dolson, I also understand the creative spirit that is inspired by the beauty of the instrument as well as the sound coming out. However, because of your situation, it is always better to go with the tried and true. There are a lot of great looking horns out there that also have the reputation to back them up.
They are brand new horns that have only just hit the market, so your best bet really is to ask the people who know the P. Mauriats better than anyone, and that would be Tim at Sax Alley, or Roger Greenwood.
