Whats is best make and model of Clarinet for intonation?

I'm a professional Clarinettist and I thought I might see if anyone had any advice on intonation re Buffet R13 Prestige Clarinets.

I've played Buffets for years with a Vandoren B45 mouthpiece. John Coppin bored it out to help my tuning, however I don't think it is even all the over the range.

I like a smooth mellow tone and have always played strength 4 reeds to achieve that. I don't like to be too strident in the upper register. I’ve tried playing on softer reeds but I feel I'm compromising my tone. Though I'm playing 3 and half reeds now to be more flexible and lip down any sharpness.

I am considering trying another make of Clarinet.. Eg Selmer..
Does anyone know the best make and model of Clarinet for the best intonation? Also if I stay with my Buffets can anyone recommend mouthpieces.. Thought about trying Peter Eaton ones.
