help with new mouthpiece

I teach private clarinet and I'm wanting to experiment with some new mouthpieces with my students. Most of me advanced students play on a Richard Hawkins "B" model, as do I. I find that it works well for most of my students. I have 2 in particular that I would be interested in trying something new with. One of them gets a nice dark sound, but it's too dull on the Hawkins. The other gets too bright of a sound for my liking. Her high notes are often shrill sounding. She almost sounds like she is playing on really soft reeds, but she isn't. Both play R13's with bonade ligatures. I'm not looking for anything super pricey, but not student mouthpieces either. Both students are 2X All- state students.
