metal clarinets

I am a professional classical clarinettist looking for a decent metal clarinet. I am hoping to use it occasionally for concerts with jazzy repertoire - bit of fun with Rhapsody in Blue, etc. Obviously good pitch (A440) and intonation are crucial, so should I be looking for an instrument with a tunable barrel, such as a Conn 524N or Buescher? Is it possible to affect the pitch at all on an instrument such as a Silver King with double walled barrel, or does it only work when everything is pushed right in? How is the general intonation on these (or other) makes? Finally I'll also need the clarinet to have enough power to project through a big orchestra. Any advice very gratefully received! Thanks.
