M15 13 Series question

Hi all:

Just a quick question/observation...

I have read on this board, and on the Vandoren website that the M15 has a longer facing and close tip opening which allows you to play on harder reeds without having the resistance...I recently switched from an M13 Lyre and have actually found that the M15 is a little more resistant with the same strength reeds I used to use on my M13 Lyre (Vandoren V12 3.5+)...note, I have broken in new reeds for the M15, not using the same reeds from the M13 Lyre I used months back. Has this happened to any of you? I know for me that it's not just this one particular M15 because I have tried about 35 M15 13 series at a music shop in the area.
