Alexi: You may already be aware of this but...an Asian manufacturer has begun the manufacture of soprano saxes pitched in C. For covering oboe parts without having to transpose, this could make life a lot easier. The Sax On The Web forum has a few threads on the new Asian C sopranos and it would seem that they're at least a serviceable instrument.
That said, vintage Conn, Buescher, Holton, and Martin C's, along with their stencils, aren't too hard to find.
A few years ago, I bought a Taishan-built B-flat soprano with the idea that I'd upgrade to a vintage American model eventually. But, the Taishan proved to be so nice, I don't think I'll ever replace it.
