Don't know how recent it is, but Emma Johnson has a fantastic recording of the Zemlinsky trio, and I think she plays Eatons, or at least did at the time. Not in John's or Peter's class, but I play 1010s in the U.S., with either a Pillinger or an Eaton mouthpiece. The mouthpiece can make a big difference in how specifically English you sound. I tried out some at Ed Pillinger's, and he had a series that would make you sound like Kell or de Peyer. Since I don't want to, I got one with a nice dark pseudo-German sound.
I haven't noticed a problem blending. Everyone has a bit of a personal sound anyway, but there's nothing about the 1010 that causes it to stick out or not to blend when you're, say, playing a solo part in thirds with your colleague. I could, if I wanted, cut through over most of the other clarinetists I play with, probably because of the bore, but of course people don't like playing with you if you do things like that. They play soft just fine.
