| What do you mean by "tight"? both GR and warburton are excellent. I decided to try GR - a 67M and 67C* changing from my bach 1 1/2C. I really didn't like them, so it was an expensive trial (there are no UK GR dealers as far as I know). I'm sure there is a GR out there for me (their range is enormous) but i just can't afford to find it! I've just picked up some Warburtons -3MD and 3M top and 4, 6 and 8 backbores on approval from a UK dealer (Myatts). I'm gravitating towards the 3MD/4 combination which gives me a very powerful projecting sound and dials in a bit more resistance on my horn, which is, i realise, a bit too open blowing for me. I like the warburtons a lot because you can rationally dissect out which cup and backbore is best. I haven't noticed any intonation issues, the 3MD/4 is probably not quite as open in the very low register but is very stable and focused in the high register.
