There is technical information on the Schilke site. Basically, the 66 and 67 are based on one of Helleberg's designs but don't have as sharp a rim as many Helleberg models. The 67 is the big brother of the 66. Not a huge mouthpiece in the grand scheme of things but bigger than the 66. More funnel than bowl shaped cup, as is typical with the Hellebergs.
Like any mouthpiece what you finally choose is a personal thing and just because so and so uses a Fleeble model 756 is not reason enough in itself to rush out and buy one. The 67 is a reasonable choice in mouthpieces. If it feels right and someone listening to you thinks it sounds like a characteristic tuba sound when you play it, then it is right for you.
