I don't have any idea where you are located, so, I can only give you a general bit of advice. Find a local pro or high level amateur trumpeter that you can 'con' or pay to look at trumpets with you, and advise as to the best for you. Trumpets are like people. They might all look somewhat alike, but each one is an individual. Just because some horn has a fantastic reputation, its sister just may well be a real slut of a horn. Just like people, right?
Find the individual that suits you by trying out several. The search is fun, all in itself, just like finding a wife.
