Another powder to buy increases complication and higher velocity makes for more muzzle blast. If high volume Skeet is the game worth it otherwise 7/8 at 1150 or so ideal.

I have been using Extra lite in 3/4 and 7/8 for a long while and like you did not like the 1300 fps. I dropped it 2.5 grains and find it very pleasant to shoot. Was concerned about complete burning and cold weather performance but no change at all.
In 12 ga. that is all i use now and with the chokes in my Parkers 7/8 will reach anything i may want to shoot as far as clays go. Have made some very long,50-55 yard shots with good breaks.
