For a full dark sound have you considered Peter Eaton or Howarth?

If you are looking at Signature check the low key pads. Are they sealing extremely close to their edges? Selmer has made large tone holes with pads & key cups that are simply not large enough for reliable seating. They may have corrected this recently.

What ever you get, it is important to get it well adjusted to correct all those not-quite-right factory adjustments. This can make a huge difference to how it plays. Most retailers probably don't do this automatically.
