For every subnormal $m$-variable weighted shift $S$ (with bounded positive weights), there is a corresponding positive Reinhardt measure $\mu $ supported on a compact Reinhardt subset of ${{\mathbb{C}}^{m}}$. We show that, for $m\,\ge \,2$, the dimensions of the 1-st cohomology vector spaces associated with the Koszul complexes of $S$ and its dual $\widetilde{S}$ are different if a certain radial function happens to be integrable with respect to μ (which is indeed the case with many classical examples). In particular, $S$ cannot in that case be similar to $\widetilde{S}$. We next prove that, for $m\,\ge \,2$, a Fredholm subnormal $m$-variable weighted shift $S$ cannot be similar to its dual.
