The only way to know is to have IDENTICAL mouthpieces of plastic and brass played side by side. Anything else is conjecture. When I say identical I mean identical, not just a cup that is close. I mean the outside, the rim, throat size, backbore... everything has to be the same. Then, listen from about 50 feet away not in a 6x8 practice room.
I think the brass mouthpiece would blow the plastic mouthpiece away in just one note but until someone comes up with that test, it's all conjecture.
