Re: R13, "well known problems"?

Here (Aus) the Yamaha CSGs are cheaper than the R13s so I bought one today. I think it is a magnificent instrument but would make these comments:
Seller assured me that yes the instruments are all checked out prior to making available for sale.
I thought all springs should be adjusted to the same weight. The Rt pinky Eb and C keys were of significant different weights. The tech on my request went away and adjusted them.
The instrument needed cleaning.
I thought also that the clarinet should on deboxing be blown to see if all is OK. The mouthpiece was sealed in plastic, never been opened and it was impossible, no matter how much grease applied, to ever slide on the MPC or bell without removing a lot of cork. So it had never been put together by the seller or apparantly Yamaha.
I know these may be small points but because of the cost of the CSGs I expected something better.
Bye the way the warranty is 3 yrs. not 5 as I think somebody posted and of course Yamaha`s warranty wont cover any cracks even if one occurs the week after buying.
