Liquorice,
Did Steve also add the throat Bb vent on your extended Bb basset? Also if you were to replace your factory Prestige Basset A with an extended standard Prestige A by Steve(matching your Bb), I would imagine that it won't hard for you to sell the factory basset A, a few players out there would be drooling over it as it means they wouldn't need to buy one at full price!
Minjun,
You could also consider getting a basset joint(with a complementing bell with the right taper if needed) used in lieu of the normal lower joint of your clarinet whenever you need the former, then switch back to the normal lower joint for everyday playing. Both Steve Fox & Jochen Seggelke make such basset joints for Bb & A. It could seriously save you a fair amount money(even though it'll still be very costly) and perhaps getting used to a standalone basset clarinet(or 2 if you opt for Bb as well).
I for one wouldn't be looking at basset joints for a while as there is little need and too little money to get them, but if I could afford it one day I might consider getting basset joints for both Bb & A- A for Mozart(the biggest reason basset As exist) and maybe some other chamber works, while for Bb I could see some potential use for jazz/contemporary compositions and improvisations. But one can only dream on for now...
