Check around and try to find mouthpieces with a rim similar to your 1 and a shallow cup. If you are "bottoming out" in the shallow piece you might need a rim with a little more bite. That's essentially what I meant in my previous post. My Allen Vizzutti model is about the same as my legit piece but shallow and lots of bite. I can switch back and forth with relative ease.
