Although the Cordier has for years been the best the relatively new Vandoren
reed trimmer doesn't seem to "pull" the cane (therefore causing damage to the
fibers) as much as the Cordier. Yes its expensive, and not easy to see how
much of the reed you are trimming, but the end result is better. However, I
don't think I've ever played a trimmed reed that was all that great, you still
have to work on it.

I would love to hear someother input about the Vandoren trimmer. Comments??
