A single data point here: I have many European Cut reeds, from #3 to #4ΒΌ, having tried to make them work in a variety of mouthpieces - Vandorens M13L/M15/B40, Ridenour HW, Evolution X5. They played "well," but never really well enough to replace cane.
Walter's S3M-LE changed all that. Whatever he did to make the S3M "Legere friendly" worked. It sounds better than any cane/MP combination I have tried before. It has even changed the mind of others who were "never-plastic-reed people" until they heard my setup.
So it seems there is such a thing as a "Legere friendly mouthpiece," which really shouldn't be too surprising, as all mouthpieces are "friendlier" to some reeds than to others.
