Practicing on 'bad' clarinet

Hello!

In the discussions involving Benny Goodman's equipment, it almost unfailingly comes up that he used poor quality equipment, especially when he was beginning, and that this helped him reach the level that he did.

I was just wondering if people thought it beneficial to practice on such instruments. It seems to me that this is a poor idea because you'd get used to making adjustments that simply are unnecessary on better maintained instruments, and would impede technique on a better instrument. I'm obviously no expert though...

What do you guys think?
