"Should I have that same level of expectation when looking for a matching R13 A clarinet?"
~Yes, but it probably not realistic with Buffet. (I'm prepared for the hate comments.) For example, with my Uebels, I honestly can't tell the difference. Good horns. The Yamaha's (CSVR) I've played were the same. Difference between the horns were negligible.
"I just want to make sure not only do I find a really good A clarinet, but also I find an A clarinet that matches my Bb very well."
~I understand the notion of wanting to stay within the same brand. I know I wanted to. My old Buffet A was excellent after adjusting the vent to stop some grunting. But at the end of the day, it was still 'stuffy' feeling. I'd bet most would understand that feeling is the nature of the beast. At the end of the day, you won't have any problems playing. I've found practicing on A improved my Bb support.
