 using tenor sax reeds on a bass clarinet

I know that you can use tenor reeds on a bass clarinet, but are the reed strengths equivalent? Will the tone change dramatically by using an equivalent tenor reed?

the reason I'm asking is I really like using the Zonda reeds on my Bb clarinet, but they don't make a bass clarinet reed to my knowledge. But I've had a frustrating time finding a bass clarinet reed I like consistently.

(Hell, any reed recommendations while you're at it? I'm just using a Vito student model while I get a handle for the instrument, but I have a mouthpiece that has permitted me to use 3 or 3 1/2 strength bc reeds, and in general it sounds like a good match.)
