Buffet>M13?

Hello everyone, and I am very, very sorry to plague you all with another mouthpiece question, but I really don't have anywhere else to turn...
The situation is that I just got a brand new Vandoren M13 mouthpiece for my Buffet R-13 to replace the Buffet mouthpiece that came with the clarinet. However, when I play with the M13 my tone is very harsh and edgy. My tone is much, much nicer when I play on the Buffet mouthpiece. To me this doesn't make sense as the Vandoren M13 is supposed to be a much better mouthpiece than the Buffet that came with the clarinet. I was thinking it might have something to do with the profile--the M13 is a profile 88 which I know is not the same as the Buffet mouthpiece, though I don't know what profile the Buffet mouthpiece is....but I'm not sure. Can someone help me sort out this enigma? Thanks very much.
