...Secondly, Vandoren reeds are notorious for inconsistency. In fact, they even bragg about it, with the argument going something like We vary the reed strengths so that every player will find at least one playable reed in every box. Well, I personally like to find ten playable reeds in a box, so I play on Rico Royals.

Here I really must disagree with you. The max variability within a box is no more than +/- 1/4 strength (generally less) and this is easily within an experienced player's ability to compensate. Besides that on any given day, a slightly lighter or stiffer reed may be needed anyway.
Normally I get 10 out of 10 on a box of Vandorens. They suit me and my playing. On the other hand, I've tried Rico Royals and while I can of course play them, I don't like them one bit. They are a fine reed but do not suit me and I would not play them by choice.
