Vito Clarinets

Hi everybody!

I'm getting a new horn for marching band (old one was a Bundy, and for some reason mine doesn't sound quite right, and by now it needs repaired) and I'm looking at the Vito line. A very confusing lineup. Very confusing. Right now, from what I gather, the V-40 is the best one in terms of plastic. Is this right? I can't find one on ebay, so that's too bad. How different would this be from a 7214? These are plentiful online, and at not bad prices. The problem for this model is age, in that I see some marked as "Kenosha" which look new enough, and then some with the present day Vito logo that's on the website. Are there any differences between these two types of 7214's, and which one is older? Besides these, what other Vito's are worth considering? I get the feeling the Reso-Tone 3's and such are kind of like "Ehh." I own an E11 and play an R13 for school, and I realize this clarinet doesn't need to be top of the line, but I would like a nice enough marching clarinet! Are there other brands that would be better (although I'm not sure how to beat the price point, Vito's go for nothing in seemingly good condition). Thanks!
