 Re: older "golden era" R13 vs. more recent

They were wonderful instruments for their time and most would be classified as at least "good" if not better even today, assuming they were maintained reasonably well. Many sell for less than a new E12 and much less than a new "pro" level instrument of any brand. You can always have a Buffet adjustable thumb rest installed to replace the original fixed one.

As far as the ergonomic comfort of the key layout is concerned, that's an individual choice. You'd have to actually try an instrument to determine if the keys are comfortable. For example, on my R13 from the period the RH pinky keys are set at a right angle to the instrument's body. (One of the changes that were made on the Selmer 10G, which was modeled on a Moennig-modified R13, was that those keys were angled upward to make the player's reach to them a little shorter).
