You are right about the Buffet having intonation issues. I own a R13 in Bb and absolutely love its voice. I also play saxophone which also has intonation issues. Its up to me to play them in tune. Just takes practice.
Another thought: if you have the ability to also throw in comparisons of more Uebel and RZ models, I would love to see that! Personally, I've been very impressed with their clarinet offerings. There don't seem to be too many videos about their clarinets, though.
This is a great comparison video, thank you for sharing this!

Why “fight” with the instrument?
Yamaha in your stock ??? Love my Yamaha A !! Better than ANY & ALL Bb clarinets ever
To me the second Selmer and the first Buffet sounded best. I personally prefer Golden age R13's which are different that either of the ones you tried.

The Selmer clarinets had a much rounder and fuller sound than the buffet especially in the lower register. I’ll stick with Selmer over buffet any day.
