Consistency of Buffet Tosca and Prestige bass clarinets

The Buffet soprano clarinets are well known for variances between specimens of the same model, and it's not uncommon with prospective buyers trying out a lot of specimens to find "the right one" - or even "a good one".

How are the Buffet Tosca and Prestige basses in this regard?

And, are there certain "faults" that are beyond repair and such specimens should thus be avoided (as some "incurable" tuning issues)? If so, which are such faults?

I don't mean problems or malfunctions from poor regulation or similar (as in the state in which they seem to leave their factory), but in which way and to what degree fully adjusted and fully functional Tosca and Prestige basses may differ from each other.
