Are selmer aristocrat saxophones junk?
Not junk. They're a good student sax, but vary depending on their age. the Aristocrat line was introduced by Buescher in the 1930's as a professional instrument. By the time Selmer bought Buescher in 1963, designs had advanced and the 'crats were considered intermediate instruments. Selmer continued to use the Buescher tooling for some time but hasn't for some decades. More recent instruments are made in Taiwan, and I don't know whether they have anything in common with the old 'crats, but they are still considered good student saxes.

What is the octave difference between a clarinet and a alto saxophone?
The clarinet has a much larger range than the saxophone - over three full octaves in the useable range, not including the upper altissimo. That normal range is from written E, an octave below the treble staff, to G an octave above the treble staff. The most common clarinet is the Bb soprano, and the range sounds from concert D in the middle of the bass clef to concert F, an octave above the treble staff.
The alto sax is in Eb with a written range from Bb just below middle C to F or F#, an octave above the treble staff. The range sounds from Db in the middle of the bass clef (one half tone lower than the lowest clarinet note), to Ab or A, one ledger line above the treble staff. That's six notes of the scale below the top of the normal clarinet range.
The same written note sounds a fifth (five scale notes, inclusive) lower on the alto sax. For example, a written middle C sounds a concert Bb on the clarinet and the next lower concert Eb on the alto sax.
