The question you should always be ready to answer is "What do I want the new equipment to help me do that I can't (easily) do now?" There's really not a point in just changing for change's sake. I'm not sure how much better you're going to get a Vito to sound with any barrel and mouthpiece change.
What does the M13 L prevent you from doing easily? What do you want a different mouthpiece to help you with? Have you tried any other barrels than your original Vito barrel to see if anything changes (except, maybe, pitch)?
In any case, a couple of hundred bucks won't buy much of an improvement in either a mouthpiece or a barrel, much less a combination. If the money is truly burning a hole in your pocket, then get it out of there and start an instrument fund. Meanwhile, make sure the Vito is in optimal mechanical shape and that the reeds you're using are optimal for the M13 Lyre.
