Had you asked before buying the clarinet, I might have recommended that you wait. Your son is still young and his interests may change dramatically over the next few years. Given that you have purchased the clarinet, however, I think your plan for using it is a good one. Letting your son have a first-rate clarinet for private lessons and the youth orchestra, may give him a greater incentive to work hard. Having him play the plastic clarinet at school is also, IMO, wise -- especially if high school band becomes more a social activity than a musical one.
And, FWIW, IMO the Buffet B12 is not a step-up compared to a Yamaha YCL-250. At best, they are equivalent. If I had to choose, personally I would choose the Yamaha. IMO, their student instruments (not just clarinets) are outstanding.
