I would add to William's suggestion to take the one or two selected clarinets on approval. Indeed if the shop won't allow this.....leave the shop and go elsewhere.
Taking clarinets on approval allow you yes, to get opinions from techers, colleagues and other pros you know, but I think more importantly, that this time alone with the clarinets without shop staff plaguing you, is so valuable. You are much more relaxed, not feeling that you have to "perform" and also that you have the possibility to try the clarinets in different acoustic areas. eg church, hall, rehearsal rooms, even the "cupboard under the stairs" if you wish!
EVEN THEN if you're not happy with the choice you made in the shop you are not obliged to purchase. BE very critical, but at the same time enjoy your first experience of the "pro class clarinet".
