Backun fatboy/Moba or Fobes barrels?

Hi, sorry if this has already been addressed and I might not have seen it in other posts.
But I was wondering if anyone has tried the Backun and Fobes barrels too? I have the backun fatboy which has really improved the response, and the tone somewhat; but not so much the intonation. I feel like some throat tones are sharper and I have to tighten my embouchure even more (than when I used the stock R13 barrel) to bring up pitch especially on the higher registers.
I'm not sure if this might be an issue with me? Or if I should consider a different kind of barrel?
Has anyone tried the Fobes? I read reviews that people liked it a lot and hat it helped with their tone and throat tones. However I do know that the result will be different for each person. But I was just curious on the difference between Fobes and Backun (I've never tried the Moba or the Fobes. I only tried the Fatboy because my teacher let me try and I thought it was good at the time).
Also is free-blowing a good thing? Or do you prefer resistance? (I think I like a little resistance)
Will a Vandoren M13 mp fit in a Fobes barrel? There was a review that said that their mouthpiece didn't go all the way in.
Thanks for reading this long post. (I also should have tried more barrels before buying)
