I while back, I reported that I had Randy Olson send me the highest version (1.5") of his Wave 1 chinrest. While the top surface has a contour which suits me the best of everything I've tried to date, it turns out that I was engaging in a bit of self-flattery when I ordered the model for long necked beauties, LOL. 

My neighbor is into fine mechanics so he offered to help me chop the Wave 1 down. 
This is about where I'm thinking of making the cut and repositioning the bracket holes (turquoise line and yellow dots):
