I still use the tube because my depth perception is off looking lengthwise down the keyboard. But I think the direct blow like you do or the mouthpiece sounds better.
I prefer the short trumpet mouthpiece because it can be easily cleaned. The tube is uncomfortable for me and makes sharp staccato articulations difficult. To each their own!
Joe Zawinul played a melodica in the jazz fusion band Weather Report (along with various keyboards). He originally played piano with Miles Davis too.
