I'd like to ask you why you are considering using an intermediate instrument for your pro backup.
Maybe it is the cost factor?
Why not try a used [fill in the brand name] professional instrument as your backup?
I just know that, in my case, my Yamaha 411 doesn't sound anything at all like my Covey Classic. The Covey is a "lighter," if you will, "more flexible" sound. It is lovely and sweet and rich all at the same time.
The Yamaha 411, by contrast, is thicker, heavier, more *pesante*. To my ear, it is a less-sophisticated sound.
So, I'm just posing this question, because I personally would like to find a backup for my Covey that sounds more like the Covey. And I wonder how much the 411 (441) sounds like the 841? I always thought the 841 was a little on the lighter side.
The 411 is definitely heavier sounding.
