When you (or more likely, your teacher) feel it the instrument is limiting your improvement, you should upgrade. If you know you are going to be playing for a long time come, I'd get an instrument with as many keys as possible (particularly left F, E-flat, at least a B if not B-flat) outright so as to avoid relearning left fingerings later on. There are may excellent used instruments. Better bet than a new lower-quality instrument.
I think I rented a beginner's to try for about 2 or 3 months, my first foray into oboe. When I liked it, I bought an intermediate. About 2 years later I bought my pro. My intermediate at that time was limiting me somewhat because they were not in tune with my teacher's reeds. That's also the time I started learning how to make reeds. By then I also knew I wanted to learn oboe to a very high level as well, so a pro instrument was the obvious next step.
