Howard -- Good literature for you to be playing! I hope you enjoy it.
I am not certain I can answer the question you asked, but do suggest that you try holding down the three right hand fingers (on f#,e, and d) while playing the C and see if going to the Eflat is easier. If it is, then possibly it is a finger coordination matter, with your fingers not yet having totally learned the coordination in the transition from the older instrument, which is causing the problem. I also suggest that you slightly increase the intensity of the support as you make the transition from C to Eflat, or at the very least, be absolutely certain that you are not backing off of the support.
Should those suggestions not help, then I would look to adjustments, particularly the balance with the E pad and F resonance pad, and the rocker mechanism, if you have one.
