I'm a bit biased here as far as Oboes go. I'd go for the Howarth S20. (not the S20c)
Here are the specifications:- Intermediate model, designed for the keen student player.

This instrument easily meets the needs of playing up to Grade 8 and beyond. The S20 is light in weight and thus suitable for accomplished young players. It includes certain key features, such as semi-automatic octaves, which are essential for playing at an advanced level. The instrument weighs approximately 600g.

The S20 is supplied in a quality hard case with cleaning materials and accessories.

Technical Specification:

Thumbplate System
Semi-Automatic Octaves
C-D Trill Key (X 2)
C-C# Trill Key
Forked F vent
Low B-C Link
Low Bb vent
Additional Adjusting Screws

I regard the Thumb Plate system Oboe ideal for someone who also plays Clarinet. Not having a thumb plate or thumb rest for the left hand just doesn't make any sense to me. And you'd save some 'bread' also. This model costs 2375 pounds which is about $Aus4048
