I used one for the last couple of years with my Besson 982, and found it was quite good, especially for the middle register. It was certainly more suited to the instrument than the Wick 3 I was using previously.

The main problem I found with it was that it was quite stuffy in the low register, making a lot of orchestral parts hard work. I have recently swithced to using a Bach 18, and this feels far more open. I have noticed a definate improvement in ease of articulation and I can now make a positively huge sound before things start to get unpleasant. I have also noticed an improvement in the high register, with notes feeling much more centered.

I don't think that the 67 is a bad mouthpiece, I just found it a little restricting.
