LeftySaxDude, don't reject the SS neck before you try it; as Randall says, it can work well for some people, my point is that you should not expect the octave relationships to be the same, they may feel a lot wider. The bottom will be much improved however and the Ref will feel much freer to blow.
(IMVHO)The big mistake we all make is thinking that changing one element - mouthpiece, reed, ligature, neck, whole instrument - will necessarily just sort out one problem and leave everything else hunkydory. Not so. Change one thing and everything else shuffles around too.
