hi menendez,
I also play on a set of Wurlitzer RB model 185 and have experienced the same difficulties (when changing from Buffet Festivals).
As posted above, make sure you have mouthpiece compatible with the Wurlitzer Reform Boehm - the mouthpieces for the Wurlitzer Oehler system have different chambers.
I don't know about the Willscher/Fuchs model, but I have settled on the Viotto N1+2, which works very well with Vandoren White Master reeds, 2.5-3 strength. Many Dutch RB players use this combo.
Give yourself time to adapt. The RB requires a much different approach - I had 20 years' habits to change!
Wurlitzer RB does play sharper in the upper clarion and altissimo than the Buffet; I fiddled around with nail polish, wax etc in tone holes, but I've removed most of it - you learn to adjust your voicing to compensate (I mean adjusting the shape of your oral cavity)

On my instruments:

The G is OK

G# clarion tends to be high (more so on the A clarinet)

A is OK

The RH trill Bb is high, but the lh sliver is OK and the fork fingering is an absolute dream pitch and tone-wise.

The upper clarion B and C are high.

(The lower 12ths of the above notes are OK except for the E on Bb clarinet which is a little flat).

Make sure the top joint pads are sealing well - don't forget to check the little Bb vent pad under the register key camel's hump.
