Thank you so much for replying so quickly.

It'll be cheaper on the plus side but does a B45 really lower you down to the 2s? If I played a 4, 4 1/2 on a Gigliotti, what strength would I be do you think? I don't think I could afford to get three boxes of reeds to try them out and the store that I go to doesn't sell reeds individually.

I've tried the mouthpiece with a size four and i'll just say that

1) I'm disappointed in my tone
2) I'm flat...REALLY flat
3) I'm sounding fuzzy but not much
4) I DON'T sound like myself.
5) There is no clarity in my tonguing so lets just say that it may be best if I dont tongue for the time being

Why would I be under peer pressure? That's silly. I say whatever reed strength it takes for my tone to become what it was before if not better then great. But 2 1/2? I played on that strength for two months in my beginning year.

I might get a box of 3 or a 3 1/2 Vandoren reeds. I played on those reeds in my 7th grade I think with a Vandoren 5 RV.
