Buying a Buffet Bb Clarinet for a Student

Dear Clarinet Afficionados:

I wrote earlier and got a good deal of helpful advice about buying a clarinet for a high school freshman.

We have the opportunity to buy a Buffet Festival, with a model number of 1139 GL (I believe the letters stand for Greenline), for $1,700, but I can't find either the name "Festival" or the model number on the Web.

Buffet says the "Greenline" is their attempt to cut down on the amount of grenadilla they use in their instruments (the store claims they are more durable).

What do you all think, both of the price and of the clarinet?

Many thanks in advance.
