This thread is pretty old, so maybe you've already found your match, but on my old Lejeunne I have Flexocor D and A (with a Passione G, which is a very successful match that was suggested by Adrian Muller from Pirastro). I have tried a few extended Es with them, and the Bel Canto sounds and ùmatches the best.
