 Re: How far should you bite on the mouthpiece?

From redwine- "If you put too little mouthpiece in your mouth, and you clamp hard, then your are effectively shortening the facing of your mouthpiece."
How does this rule apply to playing on larger instruments? For example, would you put a bariton sax mouthpiece far enough into your mouth so that your lower lip reaches the beginning of the curve? If we put our lower lip a little short of the beginning of the curve we are not only shortening the facing, but we are bending the reed (ie. putting it into a state of tension). Wouldn't that give a different sound than if it were simply a shorter curve? Would there be any situations in which that might be desireable?
