Anyone without a restricted budget can order a pro or prestige level oboe with either in wood with a sleeved top joint bore, an oboe with a plastic top joint (with wooden lower joint and bell) or an entirely plastic oboe from any of the top makers.
But as far as intermediate oboes go which I presume OboeChic has their sights set on at this point in time and narrowed it down to just these two oboes to choose from (the Yamaha 400 series is available with a resin lined top joint), the Fox is by far the better instrument of the two when it comes to specifications as it's only short of the RH3 D#/E split fingerplate. Even the Fox 333 (the model below the 330) has the side G#/A trill key which the Yamaha and other lower intermediate oboes won't have.
