I believe that some players are VERY sensitive to the resistance pattern of their instruments. They can detect, with some credible repetition, that a given instrument has a resistance pattern outside their acceptable range...
That being said, if a clarinet plays within +/- 5 cents throughout the range of absolute pitch AND adjacent notes are no more than 10 cents "spread" - you likely have a playable instrument.
Most of the clarinets I have resurrected suffered from toneholes that were either occluded or overly fraised (in an attempt to make pitch adjustments).
I suspect that if an instrument is presented in brightly shining keywork, half of the consideration has been made prior to playing a single note.
But what do I know?
Me, I'll just keeping buying Ridenour products that unsuspecting snobs in training have decide against; for "artistic" considerations.
