Bob said: "buy the new Selmer. This mouthpiece is already correct". The new Selmers are like trying to get a fast time at the Nürburgring in a dump truck. The Selmer rails make stock Vandorens look nuanced. I would agree that the facings are usually balanced (although you can say the same about Vandorens), but that doesn't mean it's a good design.
If you try a lot of Vandorens, you can find one that's pretty good and not have to send it off to be refaced (and the rails aren't an embarrassment). If you buy a Selmer, you're buying a mouthpiece that there's a 100% chance you'll need to send off to have someone finish it.
If you have a $100 budget on a mouthpiece, the dadario X0 and X5 are higher quality in material, design, consistency, and far superior in finish quality.
