Well, in my opinion, I don't really think Jupiters are that good. Yesterday, I tried a few of their more expensive models, and I didn't like them at all. I could almost play better in tune on my old Selmer AS500 (which plays like crud) than on the Jupiters. And I felt like a duck playing them. I ended up persuading my mom to buy the Yamaha 475, which was actually cheaper than the Jupiters and sounded a lot better, in my opinion. Of course, she made me gather all my birthday/allowance/other assorted money sitting around the house and help pay for it... But yeah, either the band shop only had bad Jupiters, or I just don't like them.
