I'm looking into possibly upgrading to a better clarinet. I play a buffet r-13 (there's nothing particularly wrong with the r-13, but I have the money now, so why not see if anything better is out there?) , but I'm curious about the other models they make. These are a few of the models I'm thinking of... Prestige, Prestige RC, Elite, and Vintage. I've read all the information on these models, and it's not really that helpful. As a "non-techie" (if that's the right word), information about bore design, wall-thickness, and tone-hole position doesn't tell me a whole lot... Anyone with any of these models, please let me know your experiences, and what advantages they have over a regular R-13. Also include problems you may have had that were corrected or helped with one of these instruments (or, I suppose, problems that you DIDN'T have that arose when you got one of the abovementioned instruments).

PS - I'm not wondering which one is THE BEST, because this is obviously a personal opinion and not a fact (not to mention that question has been asked a zillion times already), so spare me the "it's a matter of opinion" speech = ) I'm just looking for experiences to help me narrow my choices without trying every clarinet ever made. Thanks!
