Martin Freres (Paris) E-flat clarinet

I've been in the market for an affordable E-flat clarinet and a dealer I trust has a vintage Martin Freres (Paris) eefer on offer, with a fresh overhaul and new wooden case, for $750. I'm rather torn between getting this, or going with the "safe choice" Bundy and sprucing it up with a nice barrel.

Using the Search function, I've seen 2011 and 2012 references to these as being "surprisingly good" and "pretty nice-playing".

Surely, more of these have been encountered by Clarinet BBoard members between then and now. If anyone has insights on the vintage Martin Freres E-flats, I'd like to hear about your experiences with them.

Regards...Greg
