Subj: Buffet RC clarinet?!

I think this topic was brought up before, but don't remember anyone
actually commenting on the RC vs. the R13.

The Buffet product literature states:

R-13 Clarinet - Preferred in the United States for its intense, penetrating,
yet full, blendable sound.

RC Clarinet - Preferred in Euope with its softer sound color and easier
response.

Has anyone actually tried both models and willing to offer any observations?
Is the RC really easier to play/blow? Especially above the stave?

Thanks!
