My teacher got a Reed Wizard to try, and all his students agreed with him
that it's not worth the money. It does balance the reed, but doesn't give
you much room to manipulate the measurements of the reed. Apparently, he
has improved the Perfect-A-Reed, so it's now easier to use. I think I'll
save up and buy one of those.
