Two more cents worth...
I'm not a staple expert at all - I've played Lorée oboes and Lorée staples my whole career - but I know that different staples do result in quite different results on the same horn. If you are playing reeds with different staples across several different horns you are dramatically increasing the number of variables in the feel and characteristics of the instruments. This might confuse the issue or you might stumble onto a winning combination that suits you perfectly. I'm inclined to minimize variables when making choices, but I toss it out as worth thinking about.
Unless you are desperate to buy a new oboe right now, I strongly suggest you rent an instrument for a few months and get your chops into shape. Then you will be in a much better place to make an informed choice that is, after all, a major investment. I'll bet John Symer could point you toward a good rental...
Additionally, you could then go to the IDRS conference at Miami University in Oxford Ohio this June and try several each of all the major brands over several days. This way you can be confident you have made the best possible choice.
Good luck in your search.
