Yamaha Bass Clarinets

Okay, I know everyone raves about the Buffet Prestige and all but has anyone here played on the top model Yamaha with the low C? I have a Prestige and it certainly is good, but it's starting to drive me crazy. Sure the tuning is fine, but my keys feel super clunky and overall I would say the tone and legato is also clunky. The horn seals fine and while I know it could stand a little tweaking, I have never felt it equaled the smoothness of my soprano clarinets.

So maybe I am looking for something else. I like the Yamaha soprano clarinets quite a lot, so I am wondering about their basses, hoping really. Thoughts?
