Old Kreul is generally good. Split D is not really critical. Just think about when it is functional in your play. ...rarely... even then, not a real necessity. 3rd octave key is also a luxury. There are many professional players preferring no 3rd octave key. Depending on how it plays, $2,500 is a good deal. Make sure to make it in a good repair even you have to spend $500 extra. I mean really really in good repair and make sure it is in tune at 440. Some old instruments are tuned other than 440. If it is very very very old, the tuning could go out of whack.
That is nickel's worth of opinion.
