I have only had a brief experience with the V21, but they seem promising.
As far as the other products mentioned here, I like the Rico/D'Addario reeds. They are very good reeds that are consistent and well designed.
As far as the mouthpieces, I have also found them to be a bit unresponsive and with some more resistance than I find comfortable. I tried them with a variety of reeds and strengths and played it for a time in rehearsals and performances, but ultimately decided it was not for me. I tend to like a more free blowing and responsive mouthpiece, which I find to give me more freedom and versatility. I have a number of colleagues who had the same results. I even had a top mouthpiece craftsman tweak it for me and still did not care for it.
There are lots of mouthpieces and reeds out there for a variety of tastes and styles. What works for me may not work for others and vice versa.
