Quick question, are Yamaha Advantage Clarinets good? Because I used one today instead of my normal clarinet( Yamaha 450N) and it was so much better and had better tone and intonation. Which one is better among the both?

According to Yamaha, the Advantage YCL-400AD is their entry-level wooden clarinet, while the 450N is a step-up instrument. Yet, they gave it a 400-series model number, which denotes that it, too, is a step-up clarinet.
That said, the Advantage has undergone some recent refinements, and now retails for about the same price as the 450N. Since they're both 400-series instruments, I'm not surprised that you found it to be excellent.
So, which one is "better"? You've played both, and don't need us to tell you which one is better for you.
Perhaps you could acquire an Advantage someday as your backup instrument. Having a backup instrument that you enjoy playing is a valuable asset.

For you, the Advantage for some reason. Don't always buy into "Marketing Hype" - just because it costs more is not a real reason to buy it.

I can't recall the differences, but the Advantage has some small improvements and are only available through local retailers and not in the online big retailers.
