No, it is not based on personal experience. However, a clarinet player in my college is playing on an E13 and it is now very sharp for her. I played on an E11 and the clarinet eventually became extremely sharp for me. Now that I am playing on an R13, I am very happy, and have been able to adjust to it slowly to the point that I like everything about it.

I'm not sure how carefully selected the grenadilla is for each of the clarinets.

I think that if someone could find an instrument that they were pleased with, yes, an E11 or E13 with a pro grade mouthpiece would be suitable over buying an R13. However, if the person were aspiring to be a music major, I would recommend an R13 with a pro grade mouthpiece after the student learned about embouchure formation and tone quality.
