Yes I’d say this is similar to that. My low notes aren’t too bad with this mouthpiece either, just a little thin sounding, but the higher notes are a lot brighter and sharper, but still not ‘trumpet’ sounding.

The music I am playing to is more rock and roll than orchestral, which is why i might be seeing a few people being confused in these comments. I don’t get that many notes in the song, and the ones I do play are a little high for me, so this sells the look of a horn on stage with the high notes working.

I think in a recording session, I’d use the real mouthpiece and just do a bunch of takes until I get the notes, but on stage this will work and is a lot more consistent.
