R13 is the top level. E13 is just an intermediate. That was really simplified I'm sure someone that knows the features better will give more exact list of features.

Buffet E-13 is semiprofessional clarinet. The wood that doesn't qualify for an R-13 is used for E-13.
E-13 is also equipped with intermediate level keywork and receives less hand finishing than R -13. Clarinet is manufactured in France.
All intermediate and student level Buffet clarinets are made in Germany.

Yes, the E-13 would be adequate for a student player. But, if your student is serious about the clarinet and he/she thinks they might want to play in college, I recommend going for the R-13. The wood is better and you'll never need to buy him/her another instrument.
