While the B45 might not be the standard for classisal playing and certainly not for the 'American' style of playing, it is still quite popular in Europe. It is a 'standard' for playing jazz, pop, klezmer and so on. Many sax players that double on clarinet use it with good results. It is a powerful and colourful mouthpiece. I have used a B45 dot recently in a large symphonic setting to achieve the power I wanted. All 3 variants (regular, dot, lyra) have their benefits imo. Never tried a B45 with a synthetic reed however.

About facing length: Vandoren says that the B40 and B45 have identical facings. The B40 does have a wider tiprail that produces a more compact, covered sound.

To Mattis2: looking at your setup you are probably using a 'sax-like' embouchure on clarinet. Nothing wrong with that if you achieve the sound you want with good intonation. If you like the result of the Legere (besides the tuning) there is only 1 solution: an even shorter barrel. But check if the clarinet is in tune with itself with such a short barrel: throat vs. long tube notes, high vs. low register etc.
