Advise on keeping R 13 made in 2013

I took my R13 to the local repair guy who is very good. Need adjustment again 3rd space C key (my fault) He told me he has fixed the clarinet before from the previous owner. She bought it new and never liked the sound or key feel. It was apparently defective from new-chipped tone hole, 1st hole in lower joint. My repair guy fixed it and it was fixed when I bought it just never disclosed to me by the music store selling it on consignment. The horn was purchased at that music store new. My question is-is this R13 made in 2013 according to Buffet using the serial #, worth keeping or is it going to be a problem like many newer R13s are. I was told Buffet is not standing by their warranty. It has silver keys, mint condition except for the tone hole issue and I paid $2,199 for it. Not a mark on it or the case-mint, hardly used. She might have had it less than a year. Clarinet is my second instrument. I just got an acceptable ligature, reed mouthpiece combo that is workable. Should I unload it and buy a LeBlanc? I am still getting my skills back and I play for fun but I am fussy about how my instruments play
