Are you that sure about trying these more or less entry level horns? While I only know the normal "German" version of the Yamaha and Uebel, these two are definitely nothing worth writing home about. At this price, there are some way nicer Boehm Options available, and if you want that super dark sound, I'd first look for a German style mouthpiece/reed combo.
The Yamaha in particular has such a bland sound... the Austria model is supposed to have a larger bore, among other promises made in their add texts, but since the price doesn't differ, what exactly is going to be improved?
When buying a German style horn, expect to play 2k at least for an acceptable one. Uebel German System clarinets these are all made in China) has been hit in miss for me, but many people found to be great for the money. Take a look at Oscar Adler, they're almost affordable. Again, Boehm beats them still when looking at the price vs. performance. Leitner und Kraus make some excellent horns. Leitner und Kraus offer entry level options with fewer keys, too.
Best regards
