Yes, try before you buy if possible.
Based on my experience I found the versions without the low Eb key play much easier and better in tune. And I have owned 2 Series 9 FB B-flat clarinets in the past decades. Venting of certain tone holes (e.g. for D5 and G5) was critical, resulting in very high key positions to get sufficient venting.
Eventually, the sound didn't 'open up' and I never achieved the nice open sound that you can make on the normal 9.
But of course this is my experience and instruments do vary.
May be earlier versions (T and U serial number range) are better.
I think Chris P. is more enthousiastic about the FBs.
