Confused: Which clarinet to buy

Hi all. I have been reading a lot of info on this board and have a wealth of information. I am another one of those who has just re-entered the clarinet playing field. I used to play in the high school band for 4 years, then gave it up once I finished school. I have always missed it and never owned my own horn. I recently joined the Legion Band in our local area. (They are very forgiving) I am picking it up fairly quickly again. It has been 15 years since I played. Anyway, I have the opportunity to buy a clarinet but I cannot afford an expensive one and it would be a stretch to afford an intermediate one. I could but I would have to save longer. Right now I am playing on a borrowed horn from the band but I don't like it very much at all. It definitely needs a new mouthpiece. I am looking for a good quality, inexpensive horn. What are your suggestions? Also I would probably have to buy it online as I live in the middle of nowhere and there are no music stores nearby. Trying them out would be a challenge. Thanks.
(Sorry for my long-windedness, but aren't we clarinetists supposed to be?)
