I think you should really consider the Howarth and the Fox over the Yamaha as both are semi pro instruments with nearly all the gadgets found on pro level oboes - they only lack the RH3 split D#-E trill mechanism, but are otherwise fully loaded.
The Yamaha 400 series is more of a step-up model from a basic beginner model as it lacks several of the features found on both the Howarth and the Fox which puts them into a higher league, but ultimately it's about which one you like best.
