The link below is a recording mix I just made using both of my altos to compare the difference in tone.
The first alto you hear is my Buescher True Tone Series III with Florida Link STM and original lig. The second is my gold-plated no-name no-serial number Yani clone prototype. The mouthpiece on the Yani clone is a Greg Weir Meyer copy perfected by Mojo with an inverted Bonade nickle lig. Both setups use a Rico Plasticover #3 reed.

Ergo's are much better on the Yani clone, but I'm used to the Buescher, both feel great to me. Both saxes play and respond very easily with their respective mouthpiece setups. If I switch mouthpieces, bad things happens. That why I'm doing a total horn-setup comparison instead of just different sax or different mouthpiece.
Please let me know with tone you like best and why.
