Re the 4C- here in NZ there are so many CRAP student mouthpieces supplied with student instruments that when we see them come into the room with a 4C it's a case of "thank goodness". However some on this forum strongly dislike them- your assessment of them exactly fits "our" (or my) situation ie the best of a bad lot.
That said- I've refaced them a couple of times... and found facings that greatly improve the 4C and 5C (though still with limitations). The student offerings by Behn, Fobes and Lomax are streets ahead- I used to also rate the Hite student mouthpieces, but in recent years have found these to sound pretty bad, to be honest.
I currently have a Behn student mouthpiece that really plays very nicely- I'm hoping to encourage the dominant chain store here in NZ to stock them (hopefully supply them with their rental clarinets!)

[just pulled out that Behn and played for half an hour, significantly better "core sound" than the various Vandorens in my kit, I'll bet that SONO sounds GREAT!]
