I also use the Dennis Wick 2 on my Boosey and Hawkes Imperial, and found that it works well. I've always been a fan of the Conn Helleberg, but since the Helleberg isn't a small shank mouthpiece I use the Wick that I received from the previous owner. When comparing the Wick and the Helleberg, there are quite a few differences. The Helleberg is slightly bigger in depth, inside diameter, and backbore. The Wick also has a rounded rim, whereas the Helleberg has a flat rim. The Wick probably compares more to the Helleberg 7B, although I don't have a 7B to compare it to. In any case the Wick 2 is a good Eb mouthpiece.
