R13 in High school all state band

My private teacher encourages me to get an R13 because most of the people in my area ALL use buffet instruments in all state bands and orchestras. However, I simply cannot afford this luxury.

I found this forum last week and I've been binge reading some of the discussions and I wanted to share dilemma. I wanted to ask "why do people like the r13?" I think there are plenty of competent instruments like the CSVR that are much more affordable and consistent.

I'm dumbfounded. I've heard bad things about the r13. People are saying they are inconstant, have bad pads, terrible quality control but people still think it's the professional standard?

Do you think it's really worth to get my teacher to hand pick an r13 for $4000ish? She's really pushing me telling me that judges keep in mind what instrument you play and brands like yamaha don't have the "buffet sound"?

I do want to note that I might minor in music once I go to college or something similar to that so it might be worth to get an r13 for the long run?
