There are a lot of bad Links but most metal ones are actually okay. Especially if you get a NY STM. What Eric does improves the air flow but it will still have some resistance - just like a good link The radical difference between a stock STM and Eric's mod is IMO, other than the obvious silver plating, a W.Link is more reed friendly, gives you a much better feedback behind the horn and has a more defined core sound that's easier to focus. I've played quite a few Otto Link mpcs, both new and old, stock and refaced and his version is definitely at the top of the list.
If you feel you need a more free blowing mpc, you should also check out Eric's new custom line of metal mouthpieces if you don't necessarily need a Link. Also, I'm sure if you can explain what you want in detail to Eric (especially since he's familiar with your current setup) he will lead you towards what's best for you.
