I had a YTS62, got a T992 (which should be quite similar to T991) and kept them both for comparison for a while. Both are great horns, but in the end I decided to keep the Yani and get rid of the Yamaha. The main advantage of the Yanagisawa, in my opinion, is a more consistent full-sounding tone throughout the register and really luxurious feel of the key-work. The yamaha keywork is of course also excellent, but the yanagisawa is just perfect. Both have excellent intonation. I still found, at the time, that the YTS62 had a little fatter tone in the lower register. Anyway, you can't go wrong with either of these, both are great horns.
