a softer reed will make it easier to
get a sound, and will tend to give you a more full sound. However, once
you get to notes above the staff, it is much more difficult to bring the
notes up to pitch -- you'll have a tendency to go flat in the
altissimo. That more resistant reed is going to be harder to blow, but
will tend to be more in tune in the upper notes.

I agree strongly with the above.
A Yamaha C4 is a 'close' mouthpiece by most standards and with a Rico
2.5 will not allow you to develop your tone or allow you sufficient
control over intonation. I cannot speak of the Debut m/p as I have no
experience of it.
