Bass Clarinet Mouthpiece

I don´t play the bass that often but I have a B40 that I use V12 2 1/2 reeds on and I am quite content with the soprano clarinet like sound I get with this set up but I feel that the mouthpiece sometimes is just a little bit too resistant and inflexible.

I plan to order and test 2-3 other Vandoren MPs to find one that will be a bit more free blowing and that will also work well with Legere reeds. I have done some reading and the B44 seems to be very popular but its tip opening is even closer than that of the B40. The B45 is a bit more open and then there is the B46 (maybe it´s too open and jazzy?) and of course the BD5 which is also supposed to be quite soprano like.

What do you think, which of these would you recommend to me?
