Some time ago, I had my B&H 1-10 overhauled with cork pads installed on the normally-closed upper joint keys, and leather pads everywhere else.
Thus configured, it is a joyous instrument to play, and my favorite non-wooden clarinet in terms of timbre--rich and resonant, it can put a mediocre wooden clarinet to shame.
I also have a Backun Alpha, and while the key work is superb, the tone lacks the gravity and presence of the 1-10.
Put another way: In my experience, few non-wooden instruments have ever matched the tonal opulence of the B&H 1-10/Regent. The only thing that will hold you back is not maintaining it to a high standard.
