plastic vs wood clarinet

Is there a big difference in the sound on a wooden clarinet from that of a plastic one? I�ve been playing the clarinet for about 6 months, and I have a Yamaha 26II with a Vandoren B45 mouthpiece. I�m just renting my clarinet at the moment but in january next year I have to decide whether I want to buy it or not. I�m really serious about playing (I practise 2-3 hours a day) and want to join an orchestra when I get good enough. For me it�s important that the tone is really nice and thats why I wonder if it is a good idea to buy a wooden clarinet instead? What do people in orchestras normally play on? Are wooden clarinets expensive? Is there a danger in buying old clarinets? Grateful for any advice!
