MFHorn683,

I don't know why so many players feel the need to go to extremes. Why must it be 'the smallest' or 'the biggest' you can play?

As someone who does a fair amount of playing in a lot of different styles, I do use different mouthpieces for different jobs. What I'm looking for in each mouthpiece is the right fit.

Think of it like a pair of shoes. I can squeeze into 11 1/2's, and I can certainly walk around in 15's, but I really wear a 13.

It's the same with mouthpieces. Look for the right fit. And, as Rowuk said, there are a lot of variables involved...not just rim and cup size. These are just the most obvious to the feel.
