Syd (and others)

I need some advice--
Currently I'm trying out three mouthpieces for my low C bass clarinet.
Haven't tried out one in a few years, and I lost my scoresheet on what I
usually graded them on.

First thing I am doing is measuring them per the specifications the vendor
provided. Then after playing them all with my favorite reeds, I've ruled one
out because it's too easy to blow --no resistance whatsoever. Then I'm doing
a tuning test on all the registers.

Is there anything I've overlooked?

I'd appreciate your help
