Ken,
The classification of B&H models as "student", "intermediate" or "pro" is rather arbitrary; because with the exception of the Symphony 1010, the various models are identical acoustically (same .593" bore), and mechanically identical or nearly so. The main differences are in body material (plastic vs. hard rubber vs. wood), trim details (bell ring/no bell ring, tenon ring styles) and key plating (nickel or silver).
With a proper overhaul, they pretty much all play the same. I've restored at least one of every model they make, so I'm writing from personal experience. However, with its massive .604" bore, the Symphony 1010 is another story.
