Grand Concert Evolution Reeds - Strengths, Sound

My teacher had suggested that I try these a while back. He had switched to them from V12's and seemed to be loving them, so I gave them a try. I usually use a V12 4 (on a Vandoren M13), so I got a box of 4's. It felt and sounded like I was using a V12 3.5 or even a 3. So I got a box of GCE 4.5's.
It felt nice and free blowing, but the sound was different. It sounded "reedier" (like an oboe).

Has anybody else found the sound to be this way? Or that the reeds themselves are very soft compared to V12's?
