 synthetic reeds

I spend half my time trying to get a reed that plays easily. I mostly use Vandoren 3 1/2's and break them in per my teacher. Many of them, though, are so stiff that they take way too much air. I also have some Vandoren V-12's (3's) that seem to work a little better.

Are there reliable synthetic reeds that sound good and play easily? I'm an older player beginning again, and I don't have as much air as I did at 18! I also don't have unlimited funds for reeds!

I'm using a new r-13 with a Morgan mouthpiece.
