Re: The Legere French Cut Honeymoon

In 2017 and 2018 I played exclusively on Legere Sop Sax reeds on clarinet- including many professional performances, recordings (on 2 CDs) and (of course) for hours of teaching.
During this time I experienced a few drawbacks, but at the same time was complimented on my playing numerous times and NO ONE, not even the harshest of colleagues, ever said "wow, you sounded bad, what's wrong, did you have a bad reed" etc etc
The main reason I stopped using them was that my "ideal" was that I could use them for practise, teaching and as a back up for concerts (I reckon they played at "85%" of what I'd say was the best reed- so, in the top 15% of reeds but never quite as good as my best one) but also have a quiver of cane reeds "on the go" to use for important performances etc
I found that the Legere option was too different from cane, I had to voice differently and adapt my equipment slightly, to make switching back and forth really a good option.
So my question is this- do those people who have played the Legere French cut reed feel that it's similar enough to cane to allow a player to switch between cane/Legere without having to always make undue changes (switching barrels, voicing differently etc)?
[I'm probably still going to buy one to try out, but for me this will be what allows me to KEEP USING IT as I'm not giving up on cane reeds unless this is a "95%" reed.]
