Monster clarinet set up

Once in a blue moon I see fabulous clarinets advertised. For example I can remember ads for pairs ex Michael Collins, Alan Hacker and Gervase de Payer in recent years, and of course one or two respected makers supply new instruments said to be each personally set up by the master.
I havn't succumbed yet, but have been tempted.

My questions ... 1/ ok you would be getting a selected piece of wood / rubber (!) Etc, but assuming superb set up on such instruments, would this survive routine servicing by local capable , but not world class, techs ? 2/ is "very well used clarinets get blown out " regarded as a myth nowadays or as a genuine reality ? I seem to recall Jack Brymer saying a clarinet had 20 years life span.
