If you really enjoy the M13Lyre, why do you want a new mouthpiece or consider getting a new one to be a "treat?" One might argue, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)

... question , should I go with a Lyre version or

No one can make this decision but you. They have different facings. You will probably (but maybe not) prefer one over the other, but there's no reason why your preference should necessarily match others. If everyone preferred one and no one bought the other, Vandoren wouldn't make both.

I realize that not every clarinet student has access to a credit card to use online, but the best way to try mouthpieces other than finding a store that stocks them is to buy the ones you want to try from a reputable online vendor and simply keep the one you like best and return the other(s). Look for a vendor that doesn't charge a restocking fee if you buy at least one of the items you order. It may be a slightly cumbersome process, but in areas with no local stores or where the local stores don't stock the equipment you want to try, it's a decent second-best alternative. Be careful in handling anything ordered this way (e.g. use a rubber patch on the beak) because any damage will make the item unreturnable.
