When I played with a *MUCH* lower lip setting, I had an easier time playing high than low. My instructor told me that it was because of the thinest bit of upper lip flapping faster than the lower.

I have found out I like having my mouthpiece anchored on the highest part of my upper lip, not going onto the flesh. It really feels comfortable, and everything playing-wise feels (and sounds) better.
