Pomerico Ruby or B44 mouthpiece?

Which would you choose?

The tip of my Vandoren A1 mouthpiece shattered today (absolutely gutted). I've already given my backup mouthpiece (B44) to my son.

I'm not sure whether to buy another B44 (I've seen an unused one on ebay) or to go for the Pomerico crystal ruby mouthpiece which seems to be the closest to my A1. Back in the day you could go to a shop and try lots of mouthpieces but that's not an option, so I have to pick one without trying hence focusing on one's I've had before.

Other than cost what should I consider? I have an R13 Prestige clarinet and mostly play wind band music these days. I've never really played a B44 on this clarinet only the A1.
