The Sidey really is pretty close.

Yeah, the rim's a little sharper but not much and with the stainless its somehow not such a big deal.

If anything I'd say the cup is a fraction shallower than a stock H'berg.

The throat is a touch larger but again, nothing crazy.

Good all round mouthpiece.

(I have a mint one I just traded which I'd sell if you like...)

Just wanted to say that I tried the Sidey but switched back to my Standard. The rim is sharper on the Sidey but also more narrow (smaller diameter that is), couldn't get used to that. The sound in my Gronitz 5/4 CC got brighter too, couldn't stand that either.
