Such a thing as "too soft" upper motor mount?

I replaced all mounts (uppers, lowers, and tranny) about a month ago. The hydraulic lowers and rubber tranny are oem-Saab. The vertical upper is ScanTech, but looks and feels exactly like oem-Saab (even some of the #'s are the same). The one in question is the one I installed into the horizontal/dogbone. I purchased it from eEuroparts. I already had the ScanTech one from a prior purchase via a different vendor, so I only needed to buy one more upper bushing. This one feels more rubbery and pliable. The sleeve is a little heavier than the ScanTech/Saab one.
The car has no vibrations now (like I had felt before with torn uppers), but it does have a lumpy/rocky feel to it. I can feel the whole engine moving at idle. When I lift the hood and watch the engine as it is running, I can see the dogbone rubber bushing moving within its sleeve. The horizontal one does not even budge. In fact, the dogbone one even looks like it's melting (I'm not kidding...). It has an oily sheen to the rubber-part.
I installed the dogbone bushing with the open areas facing back and front, and the vertical one facing the same. Was this correct?
What's up with this bushing from eEuroparts? Anyone else experience this? There were no names/numbers on it, so I have no clue who made that one bushing.
