German or French bore bass?

I was first inspired by a German bore bass clarinet played by Manfred Preis. It took me some time to discover the German bass and ever since I have been chasing after the German sound.
I compared a Yamaha 4C to my Pillinger German bass mouthpiece, which is somewhat smaller than the French ones. I dislike the jazzy sound the 4C gives but I fell in love with the natural, subtle sound of the German mouthpiece.
So I'm deciding to go with a German bore. You guys think this is a good idea. I'm already playing the German mouthpiece regularly, so should take a big step forward and an entire German Reform Boehm bass too?
