Rico reed types

I just realised, reading some older postings here, that when (most) people say Rico reeds are rubbish, they are talking about a different reed to what I initially purchased. I have never seen an "orange box" Rico. All my local store sells are in a Blue box and called Rico Royalles (or some similar spelling - don't have on in front of me).

That explains why I felt I was doing OK with them - they must be better quality than what I read about.

Are these blue box ones considered OK? They are certainly easy to buy around here than other types, like Vandorens.

Edit:

I've been doing some more searching and found more info. I think I now understand the different types that Rico make, and why my Royals are not so bad....
