C,Bb,A

I realize this is a dumb question. (even if there are no dumb questions.) My principal instrument before dystonia was horn, and horn players transpose on a regular basis, reading a plethora of transpositions, all on the same horn. The history of course involved changing crooks and reading using the position of the pitch in the harmonic sequence, but with the advent of valves the application changed.

So: why can't I just get a C clarinet and do the same thing I do with my horn, which is transpose for Bb and A parts? Is there some sound difference that really matters? Especially at an amateur level?
