I've started using legere on Eb, Bb and bass clarinets....on Bb, I find it much easier to hit high notes consistently, though I find the tone more open with more high partials.
I use them to avoid reeds drying out during a show.
Not yet using them on sax, though I played plasticover reeds when I played shows in the desert (play a comic on, then the horns sat for 25+ minutes before being played again, but I needed the edgier sound for those gigs).
I have not yet tried the legere on oboe....I sometimes use a short scrape reed....but I've not yet heard the reeds were ready for prime time....though I have heard good things on the bassoon reeds.
