If you stay with the same sized rim, you'd very surprised how little adjustment is needed. Back when I was going between pep band and symphonic band (in the same day), I'd switch between mouthpieces of the same rim size, but about 2 cups in difference.That, combined with what rowuk said, will probably make a sizable difference for about 1/50th the cost of a new horn.
