I'd say from my experience that the Legere you were using where a bit too weak in strength for you. I spent months (almost a full year really) figuring out just where the strength should lie for good play. The insidious thing about the Legere is that the reeds that are ultimately too weak, do respond and sound great initially. They then begin to feel too weak after roughly about a week.
The correct strength will keep on lasting for six months or more (though this is with rotation of at least four........could last a couple of years).
The pitch issue is probably the result of plastic not being quite as compliant as cane and therefore causes the pitch to be a bit lower. The solution is a shorter barrel (perhaps as much as 3 or 4 millimeters).
I do play very closed tip openings and short facings, so as stated above (I believe) the more open and longer facing mouthpieces may be a bit less well suited. Although there are a few artists out there using Legere with more open mouthpieces.
