For a $400.00 difference, I would go for the new 901 over a used Elimona (probably an S990, not the S991 although they really are the same great horn with few modifications), that is unless the pads are still in prestine shape on the Elimona. They are both awesome sopranos and arguably the best sopranos made today. It would be sad to buy the 20 year old soprano and find you have to spend $600.00+ on new pads when you could have purchased a new 901.
I own both a 991 and a 901 and can tell you they are as good as it gets for sopranos. Exact same horn with the exception of the dual necks and a bit more engraving on the 991. You won't be disappointed with a 901.
