I think one of the big problems is that some players are obsessive about playing reeds that all have the same characteristics: strength, articulation, "ring," and so forth, and that any variance is unacceptable.
Personally, if the reed is of a reasonable strength, balanced, responds, and sounds well (even if not exactly the way the last one sounded), that's good enough for me.
I'm remembered of something that Perrin (I think it was) wrote in a English style and usage guide about using hyphens. Something like, "If you worry enough about when and when not to use hyphens, you will surely go mad."
I think the same thing goes for clarinet reeds: If you worry about getting every reed you play to work exactly as you would like it to, or exactly the way your other reeds do, you will surely go mad.
