Try and stick with the 5RV for a while, give it a good trial ... unless it is damaged or really defective in some way.
I gave away my Yamaha 4C when I purchased a YCL-250, years ago and just purchased a 650 and gave away the "Custom" version of the same MP. In the next few weeks, when I find an SEV, it's MP will depart from my case, as well. I have a friend that actually really LIKES these, so I have kept him supplied!
The obligatory MPs provided with the Yamaha clarinets, are IMHO, not the best, not terrible, but rough sounding with an edge. They DO play LOUD, though! Marching band use?
You will find the 5RV having a more compact sound and not as free blowing, but once you match a reed and get accustomed to the MP, it should reward you with better sound and response.
If you are not adjusting/balancing reeds, learn to do so right away. I will make your playing experience more enjoyable.
