Buffet stock mouthpiece

Hello everyone - getting back into playing clarinet, and have a few questions - the first batch being about mouthpieces and intonation. I purchased a Buffet E12f last fall, and it took some getting used to - I have never had a brand new instrument before. My tech gives it the thumbs up! He also liked the tone I was getting and asked what kind of mouthpiece I was using - I told him it was the stock piece that came with the horn. I was using a Gennusa but I dropped it, sorry to say. Then I acquired a Portnoy BP02 - the intonation is very flat on my E12f/Portnoy set-up when I check with a Korg tuner. The E12f plays more in tune with the stock piece when I check it. The question is: do mps make that much of a difference intonation-wise, or could this be my embouchure, which I know is not back to where it should be. And, does anyone know the exact specifications on a stock Buffet clarinet mp?
