...double lip embouchure's superior sound resonance.
If you find yourself experiencing physical discomfort, including an inability to stand and play, why bother with it? Superior sound resonance? What a load. A well-developed single-lip embouchure does all the stuff a double-lip embouchure does, to the point where switching between them makes no difference in timbre (it's a common exercise in the US, in fact, to practice switching between the two and "matching" them).
Our unique facial structures, what we're taught at a younger age, the way we prefer to interact physically with the mouthpiece and clarinet, etc. are all good reasons for gravitating toward one way of playing over another. Selecting an embouchure because of promised superior sound resonance, as though you're selecting, say, particular mountain bike tires for superior riding comfort, is silly.
