This is a case where all you can really do is poll people for opinions - there's no objective standard.

In my own opinion (as a clarinet specialist who only plays sax when I need to and no other woodwind instruments) this is as good a time as any to move to a clarinetist-teacher. There are individual issues that might sway me the other way - who are the available clarinetists in your area, or how far must you travel to reach a clarinetist? How strong is your son's attachment to is current teacher? How well does the current teacher play clarinet. Some sax specialists began as clarinetists and are quite good players who made a choice about what musical genre they most wanted to pursue. Other sax specialists only added clarinet later in their development and are god-awful clarinet players (they play clarinet only when they need to).
