Post like yours always make me snicker. A trumpet player willing to change but no specifics. That always makes me think that a decision like this is treated like changing underwear or socks (or brand of toilet paper).

My take: if you have not done some EXTENSIVE soul searching and analysis of your own playing, the chances of finding something better are about 0%. If a mouthpiece change is due for my students or myself, I know exactly why - and it NEVER has anything to do with range. It takes at least 1 to 6 months to "try out" a mouthpiece. The brands you mentioned will cover the next 10 years or so
Robin, Is there a toilet trend happening in your last couple of posts? Are you well? I quiet like PLAYING in the bathroom, just to get a variation in the feel of the room - but the toilet ......?
