I think you said it yourself, your E13 needs servicing.

A well set up student instrument will almost always be easier to play than a broken intermediate clarinet. However if you were to have your E13 set up by someone who specializes in clarinets then it would almost certainly be better than the B12. The majority of the time, if an instrument is hard to play the problem is usually a small leak, often caused by chipped or rough toneholes or damaged pads. A good repairman can level toneholes, replace pads and eliminate leaks, making the instrument far easier to play.

That being said, maybe your E13 is just a dud and you just happen to have a great B12. There's nothing wrong with playing the B12 and getting rid of the E13 if it isn't working for you. The best instrument is the one that works for you.
