What are the major differences between these two mouthpieces? I'm referring to the vintage designs, as opposed to the modern ones. I know that obviously the ID is smaller and the backbore is bigger, but other than that, how do they compare? The reason is because I need a replacement for the original Jet Tone BC that was on loan to me until recently and I have the opportunity to get a vintage 5a4 on the cheap. I know that ideally a vintage 6a4a would be a good choice, but unless any of you people have one on hand you are willing to sell I can't find any.
How much smaller does the 5a4 feel though? How does the resistance compare? How about comparison of the sheer power output?

I've played the old Jettone BC and it's nothing like the 6a4a. I'm playing a Steve Patrick BS5, which is patterned off the Jettone 5B, which is supposedly the same basic mouthpiece as the Jettone BC. I suggest reaching out to Steve for advice. He is very familiar with the old Jettone line and will likely be able to get you what you need.

Edit: Found this link for the mouthpiece you're looking for on Steve's site:
