I don't know the differences, nor have I played the Cooley model. However, I did play a 7B which someone bored out the throat. I don't know by how much though. On my horn, I remember it playing VERY well in the low register (I think a little better than the Standard Conn Helleburg I was using at the time), and DEFINATLY more secture in the upper range. But the rim was a tad small, for me. I now use a Dillon-H1, HUGE helleburg type mouthpiece, which I like better than both my Conn, and the bored out 7B
