I have Sunny in the CGB, but I've noticed she seems to gait/move better with her trainer's french link D-Ring Snaffle (which the trainer uses for jumpping her).  So I am wondering since she loves her CGB so much if I should switch to the CG Training Bit?

Add a set of reins  or change existing reins to the snaffle ring position on the ICB and ride with those to see if it makes a difference.

I'm not sure if I understand your question fully tho, because the difference in how she moves could be due to the difference in the rider. Is that possible? In general, does she ride better for the trainer than she does for you?

I'll have to try switching the reins to the snaffle position. Just even when I ride her with the french link d-ring I get a more true gait out of her, that's why I was thinking with the CG Training Bit being a "D-Ring" but with the same mouth as her CG Bit that maybe it would make the same difference since she loves her CG Bit so much.

I tried moving the reins to the Snaffle Position and she did much better with her gaits like she does with her trainer's D-Ring.

Now just got to find someone that wants to trade a Comfort Training Bit for my CG bit. Anyone?
