I'm looking for an affordable medium bore horn. There is a Jupiter XO 16001 with .453 bore at the Woodwind/Brasswind for $1900.00. I've never played a Jupiter. Is it any good? My current horn is a Yamaha Xeno ML bore. How do they compare?

Quite different. But you need to play it for yourself. We are all different players.

Here is a long TH thread about the 1600i (it's "i", not "1"):
https://www.trumpetherald.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=96118&highlight=jupiter+1600i
People participating in the thread were comparing it to the Yamaha "Z" horn and the Schilke S42. At the bottom of page 2 of the thread, Roger Ingram (who had a big hand in its design) writes about the horn. There are a number of posts describing playing impressions.
As OldSchoolEuph implies, a Yamaha Xeno ML is hardly the first horn that comes to mind when considering equipment comparable to the 1600i.

Just wanna chime in that I'm still playing the Ingram horn going on ~10 years now. Have played a few horns that were tempting, but nothing quite as responsive, efficient, warm, and still cuts like the 1600i.

Yeah, but the last post on that thread was made only 4 years ago. Still provides lots of good info on the 1600i.
