Buy a Low-C or Eb Bass clarinet?

Hello!

I have a question for you bass clarinet players out there.

I have decided to buy myself a bass clarinet but cant decide whether to get a Low-C instrument or a low Eb-instrument. I do not play in a symphony orchestra at the moment so the extended range isn't really something I really need but it is of course nice to have.

The professional Low-C clarinets are completely out of my price range, so I would go for the Ridenour low-C. Is it a good choice? I have tried one once and liked it very much, but I wonder how the keywork holds up.

So the main question is: Should I get a ridenour or a Eb-bass clarinet? Which low-Eb bass clarinets would you recommend?
