Tuning Rings vs Longer Barrels

So....

a situation might find you sharp relative to your fellow players.

One solution might find you taking out from your clarinet case a longer barrel.

Another might find you pulling out your barrel, but remembering to fill the gap created by such elongation with tuning rings, so as to provide a smooth air column within the instrument, with no abrupt changes to the instrument's inner wall's diameter, as absence of tuning rings in this elongation exercise might create.

Given tuning rings are cheaper than barrels, please explain to me why purchase and use of the more expensive longer barrel might still be indicated.

Thank you.

(P.S. I do realize that there's more to turning that just elongated the barrel length.)
