Subject: Chromatic - should I switch to tongue blocking?

Item Subject: cc:Mail Text
I'm buying my first chromatic, and though I'm a pucker player on
diatonic, I'm wondering if on chromatic I should use tongue blocking
as my main embouchure. I seem to recall that diatonic folks are split
on which approach they prefer, but don't know how chromatic players
like to do it. Just guessing, I'd say that tongue blocking is
preferred.

Switching to tongue blocking will take some effort, but if I should
transition, I think it's better to tackle it sooner rather than later.

Thoughts?
