Buffet Clarinet Reputation

I'm interested on others' thoughts about Buffet clarinet line living up to its reputation as the "best in town", etc.-- admittedly it's been around for so long and generally proven to be top of the line. But, for example, I recently invested in mint R-13 Buffet & had it checked out by clarinet specialist Tom Riddenhaur (author of Clarinet Fingerings standard ref.)- & he talked about the same thing- it's a very good horn & acceptable to most- but, he said most buffet's are uneven across the range in pitch (varying up to 15 cents sharp/flat) and tone. That was my main complaint- I want a horn that produces a full, clear, warm tone in the upper register & have NOT found that in Buffet. Tom strongly recommended the Selmer Signature clarinet (Paris)- just wondered if anyone else is acquainted with that clarinet (it's a new line- 1998 I think) & could give feedback to a potential buyer (heading off to college to major in music).
