Bass clarinet Low Eb asian copy: Yamaha or Selmer type?

Author: Clarsax

Hi all,
I'm looking for an inexpensive bass clarinet made out of synthetic material to play it occasionally but with a decent even sound, as much as possible, and good intonation
I had a Selmer Paris low Eb years ago so I look for a low Eb again because as a doubler I found it better to handle and play (I now play mainly alto saxophone and also play soprano clarinet which was my first instrument)

I see there are 2 options: Yamaha type (like YCL-621 with double register key) and Selmer type, don't know which model copy it is because the trill keys are not like the Privilege
Because I can't decide which one is the best in terms of keywork and sound I ask here
Some tech say that Selmer type is better for keywork while the Yamaha type is better acoustically (in what sense?)

What you think?
I appreciate very much your replies BUT please give me an advice!
I have to decide soon

Thanks!
