Oh, there's one more thing that I never really noticed myself, but my teacher (a clarinetist in the San Diego Symphony) pointed it out to me. Bb clarinet tends to warm up a little more slowly and doesn't become too sharp (compared to its starting, non-warmed-up pitch), whereas A clarinet warms up fairly quickly and goes quite a bit sharper than Bb. After a couple of minutes on A clarinet you'll need to pull out at the barrel just a little bit. Tuning in the different registers can be slightly different too, you'll need to sit down with a tuner and check out tuning tendencies, possibly different altissimo fingerings, etc.
