Upgrading to Professional flute

Hi, I am planning to buy a professional quality flute. It seems like I need to spend about $10,000-12,000 to get a great flute. It also seems like Powell is the best brand based on what I hear from forums. People say to try lots of flutes, but does anyone know a place in Florida where that is possible? Also, does it really matter if the flute is gold if the silver flute is well-made? I'm learning Syrinx to use as my test piece. Any opinions would be helpful.
