Robert,

Only you can decide which mouthpiece is better for you. Try them both, but
also expand your shopping to include other mouthpieces. Ralph Morgan, Clark
Fobes, and many others make mouthpieces that are considered to be very fine.
I play a Morgan M-05 and do so after having tried dozens of different makes
and facing schedules, including most of the Vandoren pieces.
