1The first three that you mention are older horns. The problem with these older model saxophones in intonation. They didn’t have the technology back then to make sure that horns were in tune.
You’d be much better off getting a Yamaha student model than getting one of the first three.
The last one that you mentioned is a newer model, and would be much better than the first three by a longshot. I play on a Yamaha Custom. I’d recommend that you get a new saxophone from a dealer. Selmer is a good brand, but a bit expensive. You can also get great horns from Yamaha, Keilwerth, and others. I heard that Cannonball is a nice brand.
Good luck with your search for a great saxophone!
