I have a greenline Buffet R-13. Great for whatever you need. Good indoors or out. I also play Klezmer as well as classical. Expensive, but worth the money.

Try as many models as you can and then try as many instrument of the model you choose as you can and preferable bring two sets of ears with you.
Bring a tuner with you and make sure that your mouthpiece is not causing your current instrument to play out of tune(for example very low pitched throat tones). In fact Harold Wright ones said that the very first sign that you have a good/great mouthpiece in your hands is that it tunes very well.
If you can take the instrument with you on a trial and try it in many different situations to see how it works. It may be clear and full in a small recital room but very dull sounding in the back of a large concert hall for example.

A plastic B12 (albeit a transparent one) is good enough for Giora Feidman, at least some of the time. If you are really serious about Klezmer and it's mostly what you play, consider a C clarinet.
Best regards,
