 Well, Vasilis... 
 
I play a small amount of Greek stuff too but I don't know enough of ussak to help...what are the notes?  (I tend to stick to hejaz and hejazkar and rast...LOL!) 
 
When I got an Albert clarinet in C last summer I found that some things were easier and some things were not easier.  It just depends on the modes and the key and such.  The A clarinet should help when playing with strings, of course... 
 
The Bulgarian clarinetist Georgi Koev played on an A Albert system.  The tunes I learned from the one recording someone made available would definitely work better on an A clarinet if one wants to play with strings.
