I think you already have a pretty good instrument in the Kalison. I borrowed one for an audition several years ago and won it. If you are seeking a particular type of sound, there are three after market leadpipes that are available for the Kalisons that may give you the sound and feel you're looking for without the expense of buying a new horn altogether.
If I were your teacher, I would ask why you wanted to switch, first. Then, at how high a level do you wish to compete as a player. If money isn't a problem - go for a Yorkbrunner.
Just my thoughts on this.
