Teresa, keep in mind that you will need to adjust/optimize your reeds for whatever instrument you end up with. From what you have said, it is likely that your current reeds sound the best with the Cabart, but there are other important considerations.

Scale: which instrument is the most in tune for you, especially in the altissimo register?

Feel: which instrument lets you play loud and soft, high and low, as well as tongue well?

My advice is not to let your recordings be the deciding factor unless you have no ability to adjust reeds. If this is the case, then just buy the Cabart. But if you have the ability to adjust reeds, then buy the instrument that feels the best and pays the best in tune.
