Long vs. Medium-Long Facing length

I am wondering what are the characteristics of a mouthpiece with a long facing? I ask because I have been experimenting with a number of B40's and B40 Lyres. I found one of each model that I like, and my prerference is the Lyre in terms of sound production and ease of blowing. What is bothering me is that on the B40 which has a Medium-Long facing, I find it easier to smoothly go from say clarion A up to altissimo F# (1st page of Copland Concerto as an example). On the Lyre which has a Long facing, it is much more difficult to get a smoother transition and often a sort of undertone comes out. Is this something to get used to on Longer facings? Or is it just this mouthpiece? Or worse, is it me hahaha..
