"I'd prefer to keep the cup size about the same..."

Do you mean the same width or the same depth ?

The Bach 12 width and the Bach 12 depth both (to me) fit your category of "peashooter" as far as playing the baritone is concerned.

If you really don't want to jump into a full-size euphonium mouthpiece (*Schilke 51D and dozens of fairly similar things at higher prices) you could try a Bach (or less expensive copy) 6-1/2AL, which has a somewhat wider and deeper cup along with a larger throat opening.

*The Schilke 51D mouthpiece has a medium cup width (roughly the width of a Bach 6-1/2AL) but a bass trombone moutpiece cup depth. The medium width still allows for playing high pitches and the deep cup allows the instrument to sound more like a tuba.
