Look into Kanstul Signature. Their customer service is excellent, and they can get a horn that matches what you want, if you talk with them about it. Price is generally reasonable: lower $2000 mark.

Personally, I would suggest you look into getting your hands on a California Light silverplate, with the heavy caps, and spare lightweight caps. This horn gets AMAZING overtones, has an astonishingly-easy feel, and has the *best* lower register feel of any horn I've ever played. The sound is full and robust, but it has a SIZZLE if you want it to be there!
