The current Yamaha line is described at their US home page:
https://usa.yamaha.com/products/musical_instruments/winds/clarinets/index.html
I have played a pair of A/Bb CSGIII-Hs for 13 years and still find them the best instruments I've tried. Before buying them I tried a YCL650 (their entry-level pro instrument) and felt that it played as well as the Buffet R13s I bought at the Buffet factory in 1970. A friend of mine now has the new Artist Bb and it is really nice as well.
I would be skeptical of the claim that the 64 is better than the 650, but I suppose any given instance of a particular model might play really well. However, the 650 is a fine instrument. I'm not familiar with the other current intermediate/student models, but based on my experience so far with Yamaha, I think you would be well served for the money with most/all of their instruments.
Good luck!
