Need opinions, please.
Supposedly, based on MV 'pieces. Currently, using a Stork 1.5S. Worked pretty good, with my Holton. So, beside external difference, any other differences?
Current horn. Getzen 1062FDR, which (I believe) came with a Schilkeish 60 size. Really, looking for a 1.5 or Schilke 58 size "piece.

I remember those Getzens liking larger pieces actually. With a 1.5 size piece I would wager you'll have to play with the tuning slide pretty far out. I think they shipped with a Getzen 1.5G actually which was Bach ish. Probably because the 1052 and 62 are more marketed toward highschoolers.
When I had a 1052 I couldn't find any small pieces that worked super well, but the Griego 2 was probably the best 1.5 size piece I tried for that horn. I might be biased though, because I am not the biggest fan of the Eterna basses as a whole.

Your instrument can work very well with smaller mouthpieces.
The artisan 1 1/2G is an odd fish. I found the rim very uncomfortable but it sounded nice. I modified the rim so it was comfortable and the sound quality went down. It's a bit on the small side also.
If you have deep enough pockets, the Symington 1.5 and 2 are both excellent mouthpieces...the 2 is a very faithful MV2 clone whilst the 1.5 is based on the MV Bach 1 1/2G but with a slightly wider inner rim.
