Hey thanks very much guys for your responses. So basically what I'm hearing is that the metal is very different from the rubber, ok good to know.
Crescent, you said that the Jody Jazz HR* will likely be too dark for me? It's interesting you say that, because I thought Jody advertises his HR* as "a meyer with more projection and brightness." (sounds too good to be true.!! haha). And thanks for the advice about a bigger tip mouthpiece with a lighter reed, I shall remember that.
Rini, what exactly does a refacer do to mouthpieces? Don't you usually assign them pretty specific tasks, like for ex. a bigger chamber or a bigger baffle? If I were to send my meyer to a refacer, what you recommend I ask to be done on it to achieve what I want? I'm not sure if I would know what to ask for.
Also, Rini you told me to have my meyer opened up a little bit. Could you please explain why in more detail? Is the only thing opening up does is add more projection? Can I do this myself safetly?
Well, maybe I shall check out the Morgan Jazz like Crescent suggested.
Thanks!

I shall certainly give them a try.
