I bought my Asymmetric about a year ago. I was getting back into playing full time as my sons were playing brass, and I wanted to join in. There is a real learning curve with the mouthpiece, so there is a committment you must make to it. It does help a little with range and endurance, but mostly for what I play, the trade off in tone especially at lower ranges wasn't worth it for me. If you need scream for long gigs, it might really be a help for you. It's a specialty mouthpiece, and is hard to switch back and forth regularly with a standard mouthpiece, so again it is a commitment. There are players that will like making the switch, but not for the standard player.
