Legere Strengths...

I normally use a Mitchell Lurie #4.0, but I've found that I'm unable to use anything above a 2.75 as far as Legere Quebec stregths go. I realize that Lurie reeds tend to be soft for their strengths, but I've never had any brand that I can't even use the 3 of. Now, I've only had one sample of the #3, so it could be a mislabel or something, but doesn't this difference seem a little too big to be simply a variance between reed makers? Could my mouthpiece just be a bad match with the Legeres? It's a John Pierce Jazz, by the way. Fibracells (medium hard) work fine on it, but I was trying to find another brand of synthetic reed since those are a little wide and always cut the outside of my lower lip.
