Ridenour Model RE 5 vs. Vandoren B45 Ebonite "13" mouthpiece

My grauddaughter wants to start clarinet. Now I find I enjoy working on clarinets so I bought another clarinet besides the old Sears Silvertone I overhauled, a plastic Vito Clari-Tone from Craigslist. I bought a Vandoren B45 Ebonite "13" Profile 88 mouthpiece for the wooden Sears Silvertone, and for the Vito I am thinking of a Ridenour Model RE 5 at $59 or a Model RC 5 $43.95 similar to the RE 5, but in acrylic. These Ridenor Mid-range mouthpieces are supposed to be hand crafted, and since I was impressed by the ridenourclarinetproducts web site I am thinking of buying one of their mouthpieces. These Ridenour mouthpieces have medium-large bores and medium-narrow chambers. Would the Ridenour be a good choice or should I think of something else?
