Mouthpiece - advanced beginner

Hye. I am playing for 2 years now, being a 33 year old restarter, practicing only about 3-4 hours a week (I know it is not very much but it is all the time I have to play). I have a Woodwind K10M mouthpiece which I like very much but am thinking of buying a second mp. I was thinking that perhaps a Vandoren 5rv lyre could be worth while. However, I live in rural Mexico and have to buy the mp. by internet so I cannot give it a free try. Does anyone know if it is a correct step to go from the Woodwind K10M to a Vandoren or do they have almost the same quality and characteristics. If I am not mistaken, they are both medium. Although I am a (re)starter, I am very concentrated on tone quality and would like to see if it can be improved by having another mp. Another thing would be to practice more hours and see if things get better with the Woodwind. Once again, I have no big problems with it but just would like to get a second mp. I had one, a Leblanc 4l, which was hard to play, but it broke when it fell on the ground, last week. With this rather negative experience in mind, it would not be bad to get another spare mp. Thanks, I know mp questions are difficult to answer and all depends on personal preferences. Reading other discussions on the topic, I get even more confused.
