In the end you pays your money and takes your chances. Back in 1976 I needed a new mouthpiece for tenor sax because someone had ruined it on me. I went to the Saxophone Shop in Evanston which was a fantastic place and bought a Selmer alto. While there I told the owner how I needed a new tenor mouthpiece, the kind of playing I did, and he gave me a jazz mouthpiece designed by Herb Couf made out of hard rubber. I played it and it was a killer but it had a big nick on the inside rail. I demanded a perfect one, tried that and it was just dead sounding. We both agreed the one with the big nick sounded much better. I think I paid about $35 for it back then. You never know until you try a mouthpiece. Sometimes even a defect can make it better, who knows. I still play that mouthpiece, and it still sounds great, nothing like it made anymore. No two things in the world are exactly alike. That is a good thing.
