I never had the chance to try these mouthpieces, but I find this statement impressive (direct quote from the Marcinkiewicz promotion text):

"Pro-Line Concert Hall™ mouthpieces have a unique exterior design that
offers optimal nodal enhancement by placing integral vibration dampers in
specific, calculated areas."

The impressive part is, that it has been possible to make such higly specific enhancements, that should be able to work no matter which factors the tubists and the tubas bring into the overall equations.

It is furtherly impressing, that it has been possible to combine these acoustical enhancements with a visually interesting outer profile.

Minds less naive than mine might suspect a sales gimmick.

I would say that these mouthpieces actually work very well on basis of their inner profiles combined with their overall weight.

My own Marcinkiewicz mouthpiece, not for tuba, works well with its less inventive outer profile.
