suggestion for leblanc concerto

I used to play on an old Yamaha 72 which is very free blowing and has excellent intonation. After playing on this instrument for several years I decided to upgrade and I recently bought a Leblanc Concerto II. It is a wonderful instrument but I still didn´t find a way of playing it with less effort (it is quite resistant when compared to the Yamaha). Also, twelfths are a bit large. I have been trying several mouthpieces (the most open would be a B45) and I am used to relatively soft reeds. Should I try a harder reed for better projection and intonation? However, this will require even more effort. Should I try a really opened mouthpiece? What about a new barrel? All suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
