Yes. Er, uh, no.
Really, at this price point, they are very competitive. Some horns are considered overpriced but that is up to the buyer to determine. The market would not sustain if an instrument were truly priced beyond the value that a player would pay.
It's time to do some homework (not ask others to answer the questions just for you since these issues have been discussed in depth for literally years), decide what your tone concepts are (bright vs dark), and play some horns.
Don't dismiss a horn just because it is not set up well. Of course, if you don't have a tech to set up the horn well, maybe you should avoid it. Not an easy answer, eh?
Best to take a trip to a good shop and experience the horns in the best possible setting. Your budget will cover most any great new horn on the market (barring the solid silver ones).
And by the way, if you're looking for the best horn... It's a TENOR.
