Although they seem awfully similar, in reality they're different beasties. The sax is going to be loud. Very loud until you have mastered it. Embrace it. If you quail, it just won't work. You likely hold your clarinet close to your body. You can't do that with your soprano unless your face is pointed at the ground - sax mouthpieces are approached nearly head-on, and the sop is no exception.
You're going to have to find a reed/mouthpiece combination that works for you. While I can play well enough with a Legere 2.5 on a soprano or bass clarinet, that just doesn't work for me on a soprano sax for some reason. I'm playing with orange box Rico 2.5s that are tip-down soaked (half-way) in mouthwash. Mmmm minty fresh!
More than one of my scores has "Not a sax" marked on it, somewhere.
