It's all about the density of the cane. When i visited vandoren shop in Paris, they had a device, that simply bent the tip of the reed to measure the stiffness of it. So a #4 reed is simply made from harder cane than #3 one! And if the reed is off balance, it propably has more dense wood on the other side of the vamp.
