I think both the material and the player's skill are important. Ask me to play on the mouthpiece that came with my instrument back in 6th grade and I wouldn't sound as good, although I wouldn't sound like a beginner (hopefully) 
In all honesty, the only reason I am looking for a new mouthpiece is because my teacher and I both think the current mouthpiece is making some notes come out too flat, especially my open G and left thumb F. I've been playing the clarinet for 6 years, have played on the same equipment for awhile, but by no means am I a pro. Yet this flatness is clearly an equipment thing, as no matter how much I try to lip it up, it doesn't work. if I try my hardest to lip it up, the notes are still 15 cents flat.
Now since I am getting a new mouthpiece, it would be nice to get a mouthpiece that would give me the sound I am looking for right out of the box, to solve not only my tuning issues but also my sound. Yes i suppose if I used the BD5 my teacher asked me to try I could make it work eventually. but why go for the BD5 when I can find another mouthpiece that is better at around the same cost? Even my teacher told me the B40s and the BD5 weren't fit for me.
Correct me if I am wrong, as I am a student, but that's my logic. And by the way, I am not the type of person to try new things all the time. I've used the M30 13 since I was a 7th grader, and I'm a 12th grade senior now.
