re Hanson instruments - I haven't tried any of their clarinets (although I'd love to!) but I've had two of their saxophones. An SA5 alto which I had for around 7 years, then an SA8 alto which I've had for about a year and a half I think - I really like it. I had two sent to me, and kept the one which I preferred. The 5 year servicing is great (although will be less of a bargain shipping-wise if you're in the USA!) and they also do a full price part exchange if you're upgrading from one of their other models (again, not so much of a selling point if you're going straight in at professional level). Alistair and his colleagues are friendly, relaxed and knowledgable people to deal with. One of the reasons I'd like to try their T6 clarinets is the different bore configurations that they offer - would really like to add a big bore instrument to my collection at some point.

Clarinet-wise, I haven't played Leblanc/Backun symphonie, but I do have a Backun moba bell in cocobolo which I use on both my Leblanc Opus and Buffet R13, I like it very much. Haven't tried the moba barrel - I have a fatboy which I use sometimes.
