Leblanc, Selmer, Buffet

First off, I am new here, so if I make any comments that seem dumb or tabooed, please forgive me. I have been playing clarinet for about 6 1/2 years, and it is past time for me to step up to a better instrument. I am looking to buy used, and my teacher has been looking at Buffet R13s. When I questioned her about other brands (Leblanc and Selmer notably) she told me that the only people who play on them are the special 10% of the world that would sound good on any clarinet. She tells me that the other 90% play buffets. But, after much research, I have seen that there are many different clarinets out there, such as the Wurlitzer and other German made clarinets that many professionals seem to admire. I do trust her, as she has been my teacher for quite some time, and she is a very good player, but I am the kind of person that needs LOTS of opinions. So, what do you all think? What is the breakdown as you see it?

Thanks for your time.
