Then I think you are in the territory of a Yamaha 621 or a Rudy Meinl 3/4 horn. Perhaps you can find an old Conn 5J CC, which will seem smaller than the PT you tried. My impression of the Getzen/CB 50 and the new Conn 52J is that they will want as much air as the horn you tried.
Try the Yamaha before you reject it. I have the F, which is still quite similar to the CC version. It is easy to play, and has an excellent scale with a brighter sound and good projection considering the size of the horn. I'm no great mover of air myself, and can get a good sound on the little Yamaha even when I'm struggling with a 4/4 horn.
