Comparable mpcs to 5RV?

Hi all,

For the past 3-4 years I've been playing on a Vandoren 5RV for both marching band and concert band. Paired with 3.5 V21s I enjoy the volume I get from it on the marching field, but I don't really need that in the concert hall. In fact, I find that it's a little harder to articulate on it compared to some others that I've tried.

I would like to look into some alternatives for concert band that stay in the same sizing area as the 5RV: a little short, and relatively open. I've come to really enjoy that shape of mouthpiece and would like to still have a mpc that's flexible. My biggest concerns are my sound that I've developed and not having to huff and puff to play it. I've been meaning to give the BD5 a more fair shot than a five minute demo, but I also want to hear what you all think. Fobes, Grabner, whatever.

Thank you.
