Get a YTS-62 or YAS-62 then you'll never have to buy another sax.

Play a Selmer or nothing else? A bit myopic. There are lots of good horns, and nothing is "best" for everyone.

If you earn your living playing sax, get one of these, otherwise don't waste your money.

Older horns made in the USA are best. Can do better with other brands if buying new.

Still in (limited?) production, but vintage horns are better. Their pro horns (Super 20 variants) were the chosen horns of many great players for decades and rivaled Selmer's top horns.

Amazing quality it isn't in businesses any more thought. They are made in France. I have a 1955 rever tenor saxophone master quality

"Revere" is a Kohlert stencil horn made for Beaugnier (Paris)--1957 or earlier. Good horn if maintained well, but there are better Beaugnier horns.
