Rick,
I have both in front of me right now.

The M1C is a bit shallower than the Conn but the cup shape appears to be similar. The rim is a wider and rounder than the Conn with a softer inside bite. The throat is about the same size (I don't have any gauge pins handy so this is with a pencil test!). I can't tell about the backbore but I suspect they are very different. I like the Conn Heleberg but the M1C gives me a bit more focus in my sound over a wider dynamic range. I hope this helps.
