The E-11 - although a good clarinet - is something that I suggest an advancing Middle School or 9th grader move to from a plastic clarinet. It's not something that one moves to from a professional quality instrument.
Maybe your tech isn't familiar with your current clarinet - some don't get the "vintage" thing AT ALL.
