Ahh glad to see it's not only my experience. I love legere reeds because of the convienience and for the longest time I could not get quite the sound I wanted with my r13 and Selmer CT. Sold the CT long ago and my r13 was having mechanical problems so I bought the 7214 for 20 bucks. Best purchase ever; I haven't even bothered to fix the r13 yet.

Anyways to OP:
Yes definitely trying to change barrels might help with this; do try them in person because people experience on equipment could be different.

I remember trying the m30L at a store when I was looking for a new mouthpiece. I remembered thinking that it had a very nice sound with superb articulation(something I struggle with the b40)(I was using a legere euro sig 4). I however opted for the b40 because it had more "flexibility" for note bending and it was more familiar(I was using a b45 before).

In hindsight maybe I should've gotten the m30L. Maybe I should get it now?
