The begining of December I reluctantly began to change my embouchue. I played with maybe 5-10% of my bottom lip the rest was top. I didnt really have range or endurance issues, in fact I felt that I played well but my teacher convinced me that I would never make it professionally unless I changed. All I can add is that I did it and it has worked so far. I am still not 100% used to the new set but the horror stories I had heard didnt happen. Just take a bunch of embouchure studies and a goos teacher to guide you and all should be well.
P.S. I believe it helped my playing significantly.
