Searching for a new Piccolo Mouthpiece

Guys,

I am thinking of getting a new piccolo mouthpiece (bigger). I know exactly what I should look for, but not sure where....so, if you have any sugestion, please do!

I need a MP with a rim size somewhere near to my MP that I use with the B flat/C trumpet which is 1 1/2C Vincent Bach. It can get as small as 3 C but not below. Currently I play with the Schilke 11AX but the switching from the bigger 1 1/2 C to Schilke sometimes is a problem. I like the Schilke rim shape but the size seems to be a bit too small for me....
To sum up I need a MP with a tim size somewhere between 1 1/2C and 3 C, Rim shape similar to the Schilke Pic MP 11AX with a cornet shank. I plan to purchase soon a Piccolo which will be either scherzer or spada (the spada is schilke like pic, with a slightly larger backbore and bigger bell which gives a free blowing feel and much broader sound than the schlke).

Any suggestions?
