The main difference is bore size and shape -- R-13 is .5765 and polycylindrical, LL is .582 and conical.
The trill keys are different as well; R-13 has standard offset keys and the LL has inline "jump" keys.
My main Bb is a Prestige R-13 and my A is an LL, and they feel very different. Just by holding them, I wouldn't believe the LL has a larger bore without seeing the figures; it feels so much slimmer and sleeker. The sound is also quite focused for such a large-bore horn. That could just be intrin sic to an A clarinet.
