In Ear Monitor (IEM) Sound Isolation

I will be ordering IEMs soon for playing bass and guitar in a (loud) worship band. We get a discount with 64Audio and I have been looking at the AT4s. One of the primary reasons I want custom IEMs is to block out as much stage noise as possible, but I just noticed that the Apex system (pressure relief) in (I think all) the 64Audio IEMs limits sound reduction to only -20db, while some other brands are > -26db. I read all about Apex, but none of the literature addresses the concern of having less sound reduction for stage performers. To me is seems like a huge effort and expense to purchase custom IEMs with a perfect seal, only to have Apex introduce a leak. Wondering if anyone uses 64Audio and can help me understand this. This is a big investment for me and I only get one shot at it.
