Hi, John...
If you're still using the Buffet mouthpiece sold to you by your local dealer, I strongly recommend upgrading that before searching for a new clarinet. While it isn't a horrible mouthpiece, the Yamaha 23N and Buffet B12 are capable of much higher levels of musical expression than can be realised with the plastic Buffet mouthpiece. In other words, you won't come close to tapping into the full potential of either instrument until you upgrade your mouthpiece.
Splurge on a good mouthpiece before splurging on yet another clarinet.
I'd wager good money that you'd find your Buffet B12 fitted with a Portnoy BP01 mouthpiece to be a better-sounding instrument than the Yamaha YCL-450 played with either its stock Yamaha mouthpiece or your current Buffet mouthpiece.
