I certainly hope you find solutions to your issues. Almost all Eb clarinets tune well with a barrel in the 41.5mm area. Depending on certain variables - such as different ensembles or principal players - I often find myself on a 42mm, and with one ensemble I even use a 43! Mouthpieces can be a total nightmare for an Eb player. Personally, I try to steer anyone away from any Vandoren mouthpiece. They always seem to be A=442 by design, and I find their sound to be rather strident. But if your B40 makes you happy, go for it.
