Hey Rick,

I know it is a slightly different kind of beast, but how did the 606 play compared to your big holton?

from that list i would have to pick the Yorkbrunner, but i currently play on a yamaha YCB-822 witch is a 5V CC 4P
+1R, and i plays incredibly well, so if i were you i would give it some consideration.

I didn't compare them side by side and so I really couldn't say. The 606 was responsive and fun to play, with a warm, round tone and a lot of color. The same could be said of the Holton. I suspect that the Holton would have depth in the sound that the 606 would not have, and likely would find somewhat different applications.
