>>You'll be hard pushed to find many players who can cleanly slur downwards from upper to lower register???

Sorry Chris, but I have to differ. Only the 12ths down are the most difficult and a "not-ideal embouchure" makes the slur downwards from upper to lower register a problem.
All intermediate to advanced double lip clarinet players can slur most of the non-12ths down and the best single lip players can. The 12ths are difficult because we are trying to 'convert' the overtone back to its root. The 12th is the strongest overtone in the clarinet sound and doesn't slur down with a poor embouchure, but other intervals are not restricted that way. Also, closing the register key early and some voicing skills helps on some of the 12ths.
I can slur down octaves and double octaves and other non-12 intervals easily and my students can, and I am not at the fine level of the players mentioned above.
Check this Tom Ridenour video at 1:11 - 1:30.

With more time I could find more proof on line. The Copland concerto has many in the opening.
Here is Richard Stoltzman, a double lip player, doing a fine job at 0:36, 1:16, 1:25, 1:34, 2:04, 2:37, 2:44, 3:43, 3:50 etc.

Here is Ricardo's take on double lip;

Learning double lip can solve many embouchure problems that then can be used with single lip. After learning double lip, slurring down is not difficult any more.
