Clarinetists I need your help.

Alright, so I finally get to play on wood.
I've played both the Buffet R13 and the Yamaha Allegro, and while I liked the Allegro a little more, has anyone heard anything about lifespan or tone over time that would be good to know, as I expect to play whatever I choose for the next 10 years or so.
