Soft or Medium Topper for Firm latex core?

I purchased a "Firm" (33-38 ILD) 6" latex core from foambymail several months ago. I've enjoyed the support the mattress offers, but as a primarily side-sleeper, I've discovered it to be a bit too firm for my hips, and would like to "sink in" just a little bit more. (Right now it often feels like there's no "give" to the mattress.)

I'm thinking a 2" topper ought to do it, but I'm not sure which firmness to select. Foambymail offers soft (20 ILD) and medium (32) options. This seems like a fairly large ILD spread (20 vs. 32) but maybe at just 2" it doesn't matter so much. 

Has anyone had experience with a soft topper over a firm core? I don't want to lose the support the firm mattress is offering, but nor do I want to find out that the medium topper really just offers more of the same density. Most of the time I'm reading that people select a topper that is one density above or below their core. 

Thanks so much - this is an excellent forum.
