Weird... I had this exact same dilemma last year.
First off, you have a great horn. The 62II is so versatile. I love it!! The 4C that's included with all the Yamaha saxes is a good starter mouthpiece, but it'll only take you so far. Meyer is a great jazz mouthpiece. I play with a Meyer (with a tip opening of 5) and pair it with a Vandoren ZZ jazz reed. I'm able to get a great rich loud tone from it. For classical, I use the Selmer C * with a Vandoren reed. It's great for playing quietly and smoothly in classical pieces. The Selmer C* is a very popular mouthpiece. The only thing I have a problem with is switching between the two; the Selmer C* isn't very wide and doesn't require much air...the Meyer is the complete opposite.
I suggest going to your local music store and trying some mouthpieces out.
