The Selmer key (linked to the register key) is not at all "logy" if set up properly. Mr Carbonare has used one for the last 30 years, for example, and has technique to burn.
The main downside with it is that the mechanism can get damaged/bent slightly as there are long rods from the register key to the bottom of the lower joint. The answer to this is taking care of your instrument, but I did hear of a clarinet with this being "knocked" when on a stand, and the key being bent just enough to bind up. A rare problem but worth considering.
Of course the vent for E needs to be on the bell. I've never seen a vent for E that was on the body, but the F vent is fine near the tenon of the lower joint.
