Clarinet Choices

I've been looking around at several different options for clarinets. I decided that I don't need a fancy A clarinet because on average, it won't get played as much as a Bb. So a reasonable intermediate model will do fine and I'm not really concerned with what brand it is. For a Bb though, I definitely want something nice....professional grade if I can find it. I've found a lot of different clarinet that I would love to have.

maybe a Buffet if it comes up, but I wouldn't absolutely have to have because I know it's not the only good clarinet out there.

I don't want to follow the herd and get a Buffet. I did play on my teacher's R-13 a few times and I liked how it responded, but that doesn't mean that there's not something out there that I would like better. There seems to be somewhat of a Buffet fetish on this board and I don't understand why.

So, those of you with an open mind, what would you recommend as a good solid Bb?
