Ligature best for Normandy plateau key clarinet

I've been using a Rovner "Dark" ligature on my R-13 for the past 12 years.

I recently purchased a Normandy plateau key clarinet to use while the use of my hand is an issue. The Normandy is a plastic instrument, has a decent tone with my existing Rovner ligature, but, of course, the Normandy is a bit brighter and a bit less dynamic than the R-13 - to be expected.

Will there be any noticable improvement in the character of the sound on the Normandy by using a different ligature, either in the Rovner line or something else? The mouthpiece I am using is a Vandoren 5RV Lyre which I also used on my Buffet.

Thanks.
