The Schilke 51D has a "tenor"-width rim yet "bass" depth cup, and is considered "THE" mass-appeal rich-sounding euphonium mouthpiece. I have experience with the 4AL, like it, and believe it to be an improvement on the Bach 4G. The Schilke 51D with its extra cup depth, with outperform both the Bach 4G and the Wick 4AL as far as "richness".
Since you like your "4" Wick rim, you could consider the Schilke 52E2, which is a WIDER version of the 51D, and I think the 52E2's cup width is closer to the cup width of the Wick 4AL.
I sell the Schilke 51D and the 52E2 in large or small shank for $45 (silver plate).
