We investigate representative dynamical models of $B\to \frac{\psi }{J}{K}_{+}^{*}$ with an eye toward the suggestion of Kayser, Kuroda, Peccei, and Sanda and Lipkin that such modes may be used to reduce the required luminosity to observe $\mathrm{CP}$ violation in $B$-factory-type devices on the one hand and toward recent impending data from ARGUS which may be used to discriminate among such models, and to corroborate any conclusions from our analysis about such a reduction on the other hand. We find that all three of our relativistically invariant models give $\mathrm{CP}$-even final-state dominance of this decay, in agreement with the initial reports from ARGUS. Further, the method of Lepage and Brodsky is consistent with the ARGUS observation of helicity 0 for the dominant $\mathrm{CP}$-even final states.
