Yamaha 411 vs. Buffet 4052

I'm a semi-professional oboist and teacher. I play a Yamaha 841T which is an absolutely fabulous oboe. I'm incredibly impressed with the intermediate Yamaha, the model 411 (recently replaced by the model 441). I'm telling you, I could play the intermediate Yamaha at a gig and (as long as I don't get into trouble by not having the keys needed to do a couple of specific trills) only someone who knows my playing very, very well would notice any difference at all.

I've been wanting to buy a second oboe, as a back up instrument for those occasions when I or one of my students send their oboe off to be serviced. The intermediate Yamaha (in all Grenadilla) is what I've been had in mind to buy, but I was wondering how the Buffet 4052 compares; I've not had occasion to play one. Is anyone out there familiar with both of these oboes who can give me an idea how they compare?

Thanks!
