Hey my friend!Hey Mario,
Hope all is well!
I've had 62's over the years and also have my mint 62R which is my main horn (sold off all my others as it's just so fantastic).
The 62's were great, classic Yamaha with great ergos and intonation as well as a brighter more modern sound however I was always striving for the core of the much earlier vintage sopranos I've had in the past (VI's, Kings, Martins, Bueschers, Conns, etc.) but with the same comfortability of the Yamaha sops. Then I found my 62R and it changed everything. On top of being super comfortable, having amazing ergos and intonation and having the neck angle which I really prefer personally, it had a much sweeter more mellow sound that echoed the vintage vibe I was after. I love it, it's the best sop I've ever had but you have the pay a pretty penny now to find them as they are getting increasingly hard to find and are very desirable right now.
Those are just my thoughts, it's different for everyone but that's just where I'm at.
Cheers and good luck with the search!
You are probably right.Probably not what you want to hear, but based on my own experience when I hunted for and bought my 62R's and my experience with Yanys (as I indicated earlier, I play a SCW020), you are going to have a very tough time finding someone who would be willing to trade their 62R for a 992. Your best bet would be to sell your 992 and use the proceeds (plus likely some additional cash) to buy a 62R (assuming you find one aside form the one kenduku is selling). They do pop up on eBay every once on awhile, but they are quite rare. I know that Les Arbuckle was selling his awhile ago (you can reach him through saxoasis.com), but I'm not sure if he's already sold it.
