The irony is that Buffet IS the brand that requires the biggest plunge into the 'rabbit hole' due to their inconsistency. I tell parents in that situation to go find 2 or 3 CSVRs and pick the one the student likes the sound of best because all the other factors will already be as they should. Spending several hundred extra dollars or more due to peer pressure for an an instrument that is going to be as good or likely worse is, shall we say, silly for most families. Nobody gets asked what brand clarinet they play during an audition, and any other concerns during rehearsal should quickly be forgotten once the playing goes well. That is not to say that Buffet is not an excellent choice for some people, it's just going to require more money, time, and possibly luck - especially if looking at new instruments that haven't been set up up well.
