Re: comparing tenor metal mouthpieces.
I too play a Link (on tenor- I expect we're addressing tenor here). Other than that, I've had a couple of older Bergs that I liked really well. They have a nice edgy rip to them and lots of balls, but are a bit more squirrely in response compared to the Link. I have also heard that they now have quality and consistency issues. I have a good friend who really loves Lambersons- maybe check that line out. I'm presently using a Link STM 8*(modern) that I flattened the table on (their facings these days are very consistent but not in a good way!) then to get a little more edge and a lot more projection, I built up the floor a little with epoxy putty. It still retains the Linkishness but it bites a lot better if I want it to.
