Dan, are you measuring by half-millimeter? I've been playing facings from 18 to 21 mm that are also fairly open (1.08 to 1.16), and try to use a fair amount of side pressure. Unless you combine a closed facing and really stiff reed with the long facing, as a lot of Austrians seem to, they're more sensitive to jaw pressure, and side pressure seems to help in avoiding too much of that, with the attendant instability. I've tried short facings but not played one regularly; still, they seemed to me less sensitive t side pressure.
