I've never played an M30, but I played on an M13 while helping a friend pick out a mouthpiece, and it was pretty nice. Sweet, compact and clear tone. The only other Vandoren clarinet mouthpiece I've played was a B45, which I thought was too open and needed reeds that were too soft for my tastes, which, for me, resulted in a tone that was a little too spread, too bright and not loud enough.
For that price, the M13 is hard to beat. Still doesn't top my Borbeck, though.
