I am sure Chris P will probably correct me if I get this wrong, but I think the order is approx
lowest to highest
77s and 78s and 400 are really stencils made for B&H (in USA and Europe) and very basic student level.

Regent - a long running student instrument which went through many iterations, starting as wood, but later in various types of plastic

Edgware and Marlborough are roughly the same instrument, just badged differently

Emperor (plastic), which is an low intermediate level.

A wood Emperor would be classified Intermediate

The very early Emperors (1950s) were very different, really direct copy of the Imperial 926 and very fine semi-pro level clarinets
