I play flute, and am learning clarinet and Alto sax. I may have issues, but I find the sax embouchure tough on the inside of my lower lip, limiting how much I can play. I find sax easier to finger, but takes more air volume. I do have some interference with fingerings amount the instruments.
My biggest problem is practice time. If I set aside either sax or clarinet for more than a few days, technique and voicing gets bad. I work full time and don't have time to practice both nearly every day, so it's very frustrating. I just can't progress on both.
Clarinet seems the harder of the two, especially fingerings accuraccy. Failing to seal holes causes squeaks. The biggest problems on sax are low and high notes and voicing.
If you have the time, go for it.
