The performance of the top end Jupiter doesn‘t come as a surprise to me. They can be close to more expansive horns. Their Top series seems undervalued. What really surprised me is the YAS62. You state it is yours for a long time and you played it a lot. Based on the clip alone I would have said it is the one you are least familiar with. It spoke hesitantly, was less loud and it sometimes seemed you had to struggle. I would have guessed that it may have slight leaks. My preference would be the SAII.

I agree about the Jupiter top series, this in particular is a keeper. All the saxophones in the test were in top playing condition, without leaks. The YAS-62S was the easiest to play of the bunch, it seems to be the darkest which is weird based on the common conception about the Yamahas being bright and thin.
