This might be a bit shocking to you, but, the only noticeable difference is that one type is made of rubber, and the other is made of metal.

That is entirely not true. The color of the sound is affected by chamber size and shape, and the baffle. Metal mouthpieces sometimes can vibrate a little more and be a little more projective, but it`s hardly noticeably.
Example: Otto Link Super Tone Master: This is a metal mouthpiece and has a mellower sound than most rubber mouthpieces.
JodyJazz Classic: (plubber piece) More projective with a more aggressive sound than any other mouthpiece i`ve ever played.
However this is true in some cases, as in M.C. Gregory(rubber) vs. Bobby Dukoff(metal).
However, If Bobby Dukoff came out with a line of rubber mouthpieces with identical dimensions to their metal mouthpieces, the sound would still be THE SAME.
So in essence, there is no sound difference.
