Hi Gatto,
The RC Prestige A is quite more resistant than the Bb as is the case with almost all Buffet soprano clarinets. It is also new and your Bb is much older, increasing the difference in resistance.
As you are not adopted to the A yet, I would suggest to play it as much as possible. It just takes some time to get used to it. Use softer reeds indeed but you should also adjust your airstream to the different resistance. Wait with shortening the register tube. May be after a few months this is not necessary anymore. Chances are that you can increase reed strength also after a while.
However, there will always remain some difference in resistance.
I know people that choose a non-Prestige RC A clarinet because it's resistance is a better match with the RC Prestige Bb clarinet.
