i have been tryin to decipher on which of the two i should get, i have ordered the doug (PLastic LB114 LB Mcup and m8 shank) but he is taking way too long i ordered way back in november 2004. so ive been considering not gettin the doug and gettin a griego .5 deco blank. does any one know anything about the differences betwqeen the 2 any input would be great

The Griego mouthpieces have a lot more mass and weight to them... especially the Deco. You have to be a pretty darn good player to use the deco effectively. Griego mouthpieces to me sound just a little bit darker than others.
