I usually don't ask techy questions, but I have one about mouthpieces.

I've been playing on a Bach 7 Megatone for a few months now. I love the tone I get on it, and low notes just have so much presence. Problem: I scoop my notes, and for large intervals, it's very difficult to be entirely accurate.

So my friend gives me a Yamaha 67, and I start playing on it, and I'm SO much more accurate on it. Low notes have less presence, but all of the middle and high registers are easier (and more fun) to play in. Problem: It thins my tone out quite a bit.

I know that there are many opinions on this board, and most probably lean towards "I'd have to hear you first." So I'd like to ask for personal opinions. If you had a choice between great tone and good accuracy or good tone and excellent accuracy, what would you choose?

Thanks in advance for all your help! =^)
