Sorry, another horn playing analogy. In my first few years on horn, a mouthpiece change dramatically changed my tone quality. I used a very shallow cup to try to make the high range more accessible, then changed to a very deep cup to improve my tone. Some years later, I get a very similar tone on every single mouthpiece I try. I've settled in on one that gives me equal access to the entire range of the horn, as far as ease of hitting the notes goes. So that would be the direction I'd recommend....go for accuracy and ease of playing, and work like hell on your tone production. (air, air, air...)
