Not to belittle the woodwinds but I would try to steer him toward piano, guitar or drums. Those three instruments seem to be the beginning building blocks of a lot of good musicians, plus you look cool playing them later in life (high school/college).

try to steer him towards the clarinet if you can. It's much easier for a beginner to learn (3rd & 4th graders typically lack the lung capacity that is necessary to play the sax well and quickly get discouraged) and he can always move up to a Sax later if he sticks with it.

The Woodwind and The Brasswind in Indiana is sort of the Amazon.com/Crutchfield for American musicians.
[www.wwbw.com]
I probably spent upwards of 15k there back in my musician days.
If you want to call and ask advice I'd trust the folks that work there to steer you right. Prices ought to be in the same ballpark as the other e-tailers too.
If there's something about the saxophone that spoke to your kid, go with it.
