I have both a Bundy and a Jupiter (675S). To be fair, the Bundy is quite a bit older than the Jupiter, so they're different generations. Sound-wise both are equal, however the Jupiter feels crisper under the fingers (which may again be simply because it's newer).
Actually, I have a hunch that the latest Bundy 1430LP, the Jupiter 675 and the Leblanc L7168 all come from the same factory, only details (such as adjustable thumbrest, bell shape) are different.
Do get a decent mouthpiece indeed. I have a vintage Bundy Signature, a Fobes Nova and a Behn Ouverture, and they're all very good. Didn't like the Yamaha so much and have not yet tried the stock Jupiter piece.
