Looking For A Perfect Pick

I have been using the Dunlop Jazz III stiff picks (the black ones) since I pick up the guitar again about 8 months ago. I never used to use them, but I dug a couple of their characteristics.

This was a switch for me because I use to use the slightly larger and flimsier nylon Dunlop picks.

I decided to pick up a 1.2 mm (or so) Tortex pick, and I really liked the feel of it. The flatness of the pick intrigued me and it seemed to easier to play certain licks I had trouble playing with the Jazz III.

So, I am looking for suggestions on a pick that can come close to meeting the following ideals:

In respect to the thickness, I want to have a thin, yet stiff, feel.
I feel that the Jazz III is too small but the Tortex is too big from point to head. The Jazz III look to answer to this question but I would think that they would be thicker than I am looking for.

Sorry for rambling.

Thin and Flat. Smaller than a tortex larger that a Jazz III. Stiff feel and a hybrid of the extremely pointy Jazz III tip and the rounded, less defined Tortex.

Thank you.
