I don't especially like the sound that my mouthpiece produces with a V.12, either. I find the profile seems not to work well with the 1.00-1.03/17mm facings on all the mouthpieces I've used in the past several years. You might find a different brand or even a different Vandoren that gives you the ability to make the sound you want.

The only difference is the beak shape. It should be only a matter of comfort.
