Help me buy a Bass Clarinet + Links

Author: banangerine

Hello! I'm currently a sophomore looking to get into Wind Ensemble at my high school and I was thinking of buying my own Eb bass clarinet. I've looked into this thread:

http://test.woodwind.org/clarinet/BBoard/read.html?f=1&i=285018&t=285018

And getting the Yamaha 221II + Fobes Debut mouthpiece seems really promising, but I saw this on Amazon and it really attracted me because I'd like to save my parents some money, you know?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005D6P1J6/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

If anyone knows of this model and brand, please leave comments on if it's suitable especially compared to the Yamaha 221!

Also, is there a difference between Yamaha 221 and Yamaha 221II? Are they the same thing? Just making sure because I heard 220 is a lot worse and I'm really surprised that there's such a difference. Better safe than sorry!

vs. this next one that doesn't say the II part

Thank you to anyone who can help!! I would just like to have a plan set before bringing it up with my parents. Please respond soon as I would like to switch to it ASAP before my auditions in May.

[Also appreciated: any further recommendations on models, reeds (RICO vs. Vandoren? Never heard of this debate until today), mouthpieces, and just overall tips to help me make the cut!! (Also any good, cheap sites selling the Yamaha model would be very cool ^_^ ) THANK YOU!]
