I have a Cerveny stencil that I really like. It is the rose brass version of the 686, which has a larger bell than the 681. I didn't like the 681's that I played but did like the 686, 683 (piggy style), or 601 (5/4 size). You really need to try the specific horn that you intend to buy before buying to make sure that it is a good sample.
I haven't tried a VMI 2103, but it has gotten good reviews for the money, or you could spend a little more (about $3500) for the new King 2341, which I like better than either the Cerveny or VMI.
