Hi Ian,
My first horn ever was a Holton 179 in high school.
Unfortunatly it was the schools. I finally bought my own in
1998. It's a F.E. Old and Sons can't remember the model.
It's a hand me down horn with great range, clear sound and
minor dints and dings. If you want professional, go with
either a Holton or Conn. Personally I'd prefer the Holton.
Just find a horn that fits your attitude. the horn will
pick you. 
Good luck!
