If you're going to upgrade, then do just that - upgrade. Vandoren to Vandoren seems like a lateral move and not much of a promotion. I'd considered something more boutique. Bob Bernando has a terrific Selmer he loves and recommends. Graber, Behn (my favorite), Ridenour and Fobes all have excellent offerings. Most of their offerings are hand finished. Vandoren is kinda like Buffet, you have to try 10 to find a great one, what a pain. Just saying. But you'll always have to audition several to find the right one for you.

If you're going to upgrade, why not get something special? If the mouthpiece swap is important to you, then pull out the credit card and start auditioning different models.

I agree a ligature upgrade might get you where you want to go, for now maybe, for less money.
