I am a guy... and I started flute in high school in grade 9... I am currently in grade 10 so this means I have played flute for 2 school years. I want to buy a student flute to practice at home but do now know which to buy...
Should I buy a Yamaha 225 for $595 + tax OR
Gemeinhardt 2SPJ for $345, its on sale, $20 off orig. $365 + $20 gift card.
This is in Canadian dollars...
I just want a flute so I can improve my skills... my dedication is a 6/10 out of a scale of 1 to 10. I know the Yamaha are better, but its a bit costly ._. and I will have to convince my parents a bit to get them to buy those... so what should I get?

*do not recommend me any other models, these are the only ones i can buy
