Replace default price template in product view

Question

I'd change the default catalog/product/price.phtml

I've tried already:

<reference name="catalog_product_price_template">
     <action method="addPriceBlockType"><type>simple</type><block>catalog/product_price</block><template>catalog/product/custom-price.phtml</template></action>
</reference>

but using xdebug I've seen that the addPriceBlockType method is not used for the simple product, so it returns the default template.

where I'm wrong? thank you

My actual solution is to rewrite the class Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Simple

class Store_Core_Block_Catalog_Product_View_Type_Simple extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View_Type_Simple{
    protected $_priceBlockDefaultTemplate = 'catalog/product/custom-price.phtml';

    protected function _getPriceBlockTemplate($productTypeId)
    {
        if (isset($this->_priceBlockTypes[$productTypeId])) {
            if ($this->_priceBlockTypes[$productTypeId]['template'] != '') {
                return $this->_priceBlockTypes[$productTypeId]['template'];
            }
        }
        return $this->_priceBlockDefaultTemplate;
    }
}

I can now use some logic to choose the correct price template based on product type. However, I'm wondering if there is any other solution just using xml layouts
