What Alto Saxophone should I get?

I have been playing alto and tenor saxophone for about 5 years now (I'm in 9th grade) and I'm looking to upgrade my alto. My skill level is pretty high, I'm first chair if that makes a difference. I currently have a Rosetti student saxophone, and I'm most likely going to buy a Yamaha. Any suggestions for a model? I have never used a Yamaha and don't know what they're like. Thanks for the help

Update:

Oh and also I'd like to keep my budget under $1000 if possible

    I play alto, tenor and bari and my alto is a jupiter and that was only £300 so it should be easy to get a yamaha for under $1000. Yamaha is the cheapest of the professional sax's.

    The best change is octave of the tool, the equal notes performed at the baritone saxophone sounding the equal because the alto however being in a scale back check in. Both the alto and baritone saxophone are E-flat devices. They can play the equal tune. The notes/fingerings at the alto and baritone saxophone are precisely the equal. Actually, if you'll be able to play one saxophone, you'll be able to play they all since their fingerings/notes are the equal. The best factor is that soprano and tenor saxophones are B-flat devices, so although they could learn notes the equal means as a baritone or alto sax, the sound could be distinctive since the devices are in distinctive keys. I'm sorry my reply is goodbye...you'll be able to play alto sax. And for the reason that you've gotten been gambling the baritone saxophone, respiring into the alto shall be convenient since this can be a so much smaller tool.
