My clarinets do not match!!

Hello all,

I am a high school player and I recently purchased an A clarinet. I own a Buffet R13 Bb and just bought a Selmer Privilege A (insanely good deal on purchase, too).

I plan on using the pair in my youth orchestras, along with soloing. I am not completely sure if becoming a clarinet performance major is the direction I want to head after high school. Music education is something that attracts me, but it doesn't mean I have to stop playing clarinet... In a perfect world, having matching Bb and A clarinets would be good, but does it really matter? I've noticed the keywork being a little different between the two brands. Any tonal differences(besides the the half step part, obviously)?

Is there anything else I should be aware of or look into?

Thanks.
