New Eb clarinet plans

Hello everyone, posted this on reddit earlier, got some response, but not a lot.

I'm the dedicated e-flat player in communityband for over a year now. Having played clarinet for 25 years this was a really cool adventure and I'm absolutely loving the instrument. However...

I'm playing a noblet artiste from the seventees that has a very nice sound but it brings some challenges: for example throattones and altissimo are VERY flat and the efforts I have to take to circumvent this are quite rigorous. Also the ergonomics arent that great and the instrument itself suffered quite some wear through the years

That's why I decided to start looking for a new top of the line eefer: selmer muse/recital, tosca or yamaha 881. Secondhand is barely available and what's available is on the same lvl as my current instrument. Also I want to try a couple of instruments, since it's quite an investment.

I was wondering if there are some players here that play one of those instruments and why you chose the instrument. Are there some black horses I'm missing and are these instruments as good as advertised?

Hope anyone can help
