Saxophones Conn, Amati, Weltklang or Buescher

Awesome insight, thanks a lot!
If you had to choose one saxophone without being able to test it (which is my case), which one you would actually take?

I missed this question. I am with @Colin the Bear - in these circumstances and on your budget, something new, Chinese, with a guarantee. I bought my girl a new G4M tenor because she got fed up of bits falling off the older, cheap alto I bought her, and I realised that what was a 5 second fix for me was a big pain in the arse for her (age 12 or so) if I wasn't standing behind her all the time. It worked out well.
