I think by "personal results are welcome" he meant that he wasn't just looking for an answer that was right for him, he wanted to see what people thought.

Both mouthpiece lines are extremely high quality.
Both owners/makers are the best sort of people you could ever want to deal with.

I give the advantage to Loud due to its screw rim system that allows you to choose a more ideal rim size for each individual's personal taste in addition to choosing cup depth, ID, throat, backbore etc...

I do like the lighter weight stainless like the Baer.

I really liked the Alan Baer and could have loved it with a different rim. With the LM-7 I could change the rim to match my preference more.

Hey Joey-boy: How 'bout renaming all of your 'pieces (instead of those boring-*ss numbers) model designations such as Ercumongashee (Bach 18 knock-off), Gorgobsolobahh (Conn Helleberg), Mushu-pork (PT-88++), Abrakadabra (C4)...etc.

You know, names that make perfect logical sense and that clearly point towards the similar mouthpieces on which they are roughly based...

Good point! LOL
