Cordier reed trimmer?

I own the Bb Cordier reed trimmer. It cuts cleanly but I don't like the cut profile. The finished cut is too rounded at the corners. I just got done reading through the search results for "reed trimmer" and find that apparently the cut profile for this trimmer varies widely from sample to sample. I've been considering getting a soprano or alto sax trimmer. My thoughts tell me that the wider blade will leave a consistent radius across the reed. Has anyone experimented with this? Is the soprano trimmer wide enough for this or is the alto trimmer better?

How about the Rigotti trimmer? Is the cut profile different for the Rigotti. It seems that most people consider the Cordier superior to the Rigotti. What is it that is not liked about the Rigotti.

Thanks,
Matt
