Rowuk.
I was just giving my opinion on the mouthpiece. Of course it is not the smartest idea to buy a mouthpiece based on looks. Did i say that. No. Did i do that with the Kanstul. No. I have it because i it is the perfect mouthpeice for me.
Honestly of course i know that even the the same mouthpieces feel slightly different, there is no arguing that, but what i was giving was my personal opinion about how i feel about the mouthpieces.

This was not intended to "call" you at all. Your opinion is every bit as valid as mine.
I have compared the Kanstul M series to the real thing and they are much more than slightly different (which is all that I wanted to point out). I believe that is due to the throat and backbore geometry, although it could be a different brass alloy too. That does not make one better or worse, but does warrant the play before you pay approach ESPECIALLY when increasing the mass by such a great amount.
