Hey Ryan,
I played a G130 R R5M for about 8 years on my 1962 vintage Mirafone 186 and loved it but had a hard time getting the low register to speak. In 99 I got a G130 T T6M and use it all the time now. Maybe your flat playing isn't a result of the mouthpiece? Best to speak with Mr. Elliot about hardware changes but don't forget to rule out other things that may be bad with the horn. Lip slurs, long tones and ear training are the best first step in pitch problems usually. If the mouthpiece is rather new to your face maybe just give it more time on. Good luck and go ahead and get the R cup because it will let you do different things on your horn that you can't do with the T cup.
