I acquired a Yamaha YCL-881 Eb clarinet for one of my students some years ago. In side-by-side comparisons, it edged out a Buffet RC Prestige Eb and a standard R-13 Eb when it came to response, intonation, and tone quality. At the time it was over twelve hundred dollars less than the RC as well. Not the case anymore, unfortunately.

I definitely prefer the tone of the RC model over the standard R-13, and it was pretty close to the 881. The Yamaha had better keywork, which I think was the final deciding factor.
