Buying New Clarinet

Hey guys im new to the forum and this is my first post. hurray!

My question regards buying a new clarinet. First, some context… I currently play on an R13 and have been for 6 years and I am going to Grad school and need something with better intonation. I am looking at a Buffet RC Prestige/ R13 Prestige and also the new “Traditional” clarinet. I can’t make up my mind.

What are some of the differences (and I don’t mean technical. i.e. bore sizes) real world differences that differentiate these instruments?

And WHY are the Prestige models so much more expensive than the Tradition?! At current prices there is roughly a $2,000 price difference between them. What am I missing?

Thanks, this would really help!
