Helleberg-rim mouthpiece advice needed

I have tried, in vane, for some time now to get some different opinions on mouthpieces for my E-flat tuba. Presently, I play a Wick 2L. It is giving me good response and tone, but not great, which is what I am looking for. Can anybody give me some advice as far as similar mouthpieces which may have some different characteristics and thus a different result? I much prefer the rim on the Wick 2L (flatter) to Bach-style rims (donut-shaped).

Jim Self replica/signature?
Sheridan/Dillon?

Thanks for the help!
