RE: Yamaha YCL-64

I am thoroughly impressed with Yamaha in all their model lines. Tone is generally very good (assuming a good mouthpiece). Most describe it a "slightly brighter than Buffet, but not unpleasantly so". Pitch is incomparable. Nobody close. The 64 is a good clarinet. One of my adult students plays one. I play a CX, which is the best clarinet I've ever had, and that goes back over several Buffets. Many important orchestras have some if not all of their clarinetists playning Yamaha these days. This fact seems to be beyond your requirements, but I think you'd be happy with Yamaha. See if you can haggle with the dealer a bit, or if they'd take your Bundy in trade (or you may need to sell it-no loss there) to help offset the cost.
