Figure out model # from serial #? Buffet, Leblanc "Regency," Yamaha "Allegro"

Well my first woodwind experience was a clarinet, Yamaha's cheapest model. Alto sax is nice, but I've been getting more and more into clarinet. However, my old plastic model seems to be holding me back to a degree, so I've decided to get a nice(ish) wooden clarinet.

I went to a local music store to look at some, and they (to my surprise) let me play some clarinets. I wrote down the serial numbers so they could look them up in their database, but they wouldn't/couldn't give me the model numbers. I'd like the model numbers so I can read reviews about them and compare them to other clarinetists' I know.

This is all of the information I found. Does anyone know how to figure out the model? If anyone has some general advice, I'd appreciate that too .

Buffet "Professional Clarinet" - $2899 - 566617
Buffet "Clarinet" (a rental return) - $594 - 921783 [I think this was an error, but the S# is right]
LeBlanc "Regency Step-Up" - $1479 - D54758
LeBlanc "Regency Vito student" - $735 - A18089 [I think there was an error, but the S# is right]
Yamaha "Allegro Wood" - $1499 - 103557

That's as descriptive as it got. My favorite was probably the first LeBlanc, even over the Buffet.

Any assistance?
