I also recommend the Kessler Custom saxes to students looking for a solid instrument at a reasonable price. CE Winds is making some nice horns right now, and if you are looking for something at a higher level, but priced very well, you might also check out Phil Barone.
Lots of options out there right now. For a long time, the YAS-23 was the only real choice here, but I own a Kessler Custom alto and tenor, and I use them regularly when I don't want to take out my "good" horns, and they are ordinarily out on their stands in my music room where I can get to them quickly if I want to play and don't want to take the time unpacking and assembling an instrument. I don't hesitate for a moment to play them on gigs, and certainly the others I have mentioned are more than adequate for any performance situation as well.
It's a good time to be looking.
