I have 3 Shilkie 69C4s. All of them are slightly different and all are brighter than my Mirafone C4s.
I have not played the Yamaha copy so I don't know how close it is.
I use a Mirafone C4 for my all around f tuba playing and use the Schilke when I want to brighten up the sound.
In short they are all good mouthpieces. It depends on what type of sound you are looking for.
