My Grabner CX_BB_90 for the Bass Clarinet is great. But the Backun BC + I recently purchased is superior for me, however it sells for approximately 3X the price of the Grabner! Do I think it's worth it? Yes, but if you are concerned about the cost, you may not be able to afford a Backun. Morrie does great work and has restored an Ab Sopranino and Bb Bass Clarinet for me. Did it cost more for him to do it than another? Yes, but it was worth it. I recently inquired about his Bass Clarinet Bells, which sells for $3,500. But I've decided that I can't justify it for the amount of amateur performance I do.
In my own work some clients can afford me and some cannot. It's their choice, but I'm still worth it, IMHO!
