Just know that if you do decide to sell your C series, you're going to get low balled because of the different serial numbers. People have real prejudices about such issues, and even if its the best C series in the world, you'd could probably only expect to get around $2000 in FANTASTIC shape, probably closer to $1500 or even closer to $1200 if its poor condition.
I would be curious to know whether the Fox instrument you tried was a Fox Renard 330 (intermediate model, no split ring D) or a Fox 400 (professional model, split ring D, etc.) The 400's I tried weren't terrible, but there were certainly issues with the 10 that I tried (thin middle C, unstable high A, etc.)
If you're seriously looking for a new backup oboe, I'd look for a plastic top joint oboe or special order a plastic topjoint for your royal.
