At least the one that I have have much wider tip rails than any of the mouthpieces I own specially those by Charles Bay and Zinner based mouthpieces. It has also the most resistance of all my mouthpieces and is most similar to long faced Bay mouthpiece in feel and reed strength from my selection of Vandoren,Morgan,Grabner and Gennusa. If you are familiar with Zinner based mouthpieces I would say that it's quiet different.

I have tried a P45a on an Imperial and it was very good.
However, the P45b was even better (for me at any rate).
Ed takes endless trouble to explain things and sort out what you're after (probably, if like me you don't know...) P45a was certainly on the cards as the most likely contender and as good a starting point as any.
You'll have to excuse the cack-handed analogies, but the P45b made it feel like more of the length of the reed was working, and producing more sound from end to end.
I'm very very pleased with the P45b, and I love the sound it makes with a No 3 Vandoren Rue Lepic.
I can get tons of dynamic range, from my normal asthmatic mouse level all the way out to, I swear it, cutting through an entire orchestra (not that I do...) on the big "middle C" (of all things) at the start of the 1st Brahms Piano Concerto.
I'm not sure I can put my finger on why, but I do like it slightly more with a BG Super Revelation lig than the Vandoren Optimum.

...and shortly afterward, I got another one. Well, you have to match, don't you?
The sound and ease is as beautiful as the parabola described by the supplanted Eaton* toward the bin / GAS box.
*It's OK, I'm not mental, it was only an EBay job... However, it was useful in proving, to me at any rate, that a 926 stuck on a 926 does actually make a difference.

I visited Ed a few months ago and left with several to try. I chose an F2 P45b because it offered a beautiful sound and, most importantly, I felt that it had its own 'voice' which was unique, almost like this mouthpiece had its own soul. He uses his own material, which is excellent. I find most mouthpieces go dull and get a buildup of stuff on them quite quickly however Ed's is still shiny after a few month's full time use.
This mouthpiece has been ideal for solo, chamber, and band use. In fact if I want it to it can easily overpower a big clarinet section. But I don't because I'm not evil
If you're in London, give Ed a call, he's extremely helpful, friendly, and really really knows his stuff.
