Emmeke Bressers in Rotterdam might have more Howarth models to try, i think she is a dealer of theirs there. Not a super fan of Howarth oboes myself but i do think that they could work very well with the Dutch style reeds. Beautiful reeds my friend! I used to play reeds also made in such a way but change now more to a hybrid style with concepts learned from Bart Schneemann and Remco de Vries. I could never copy their reed style exactly! Check out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDH0dYTDags&feature=channel_video_title where you can hear me playing on my interpretation of Dutch style reeds. Anyways, i think for your reed style Loree is ideal for the resonance of the top register but you would need a different set of fingerings for the high register. In general i think Dutch style reeds need more Loree style instruments but i understand well that sometimes Lorees can behave strange... what else to say but to try try try! There are so many good makers now and every brand has produced super instruments. Josef oboes seem to have the "Nieuw Dutch" sound built into it. A good Yamaha has a lot of resonance, more so than Loree! A good Marigaux compensates many of Loree's bright notes. It's very hard to say what is the right instrument to go for because everyone has a different taste when it comes to tone and intonation.

Regards,
Howard
