Beginner Tenor

Evening all, apologies as this has undoubtedly been asked before, I just can't seem to find it, I'm fast approaching 50 and have loved the sound of a Sax since a child but never played.

My wife wants to buy me my first Sax as a birthday present as something to learn now that the kids are older and we have more time.

At the moment I'm drawn between the Yamaha YTS280 and the Trevor James "The Horn". I know the Yamaha is held in high regard, but there is a difference in price between the two of almost £400. I'd welcome thoughts from the community on whether the additional price is worth it, or would the Trevor James be an equally good starting point? Are there any major issues between the two?

Thanks in advance and thank you for all the posts, it's been great to hear of people's experiences.
