For the record,
I got my Forestone reeds in the mail, in 2.5, 3, and 3.5. The 3.5 seems to be pretty good so far, much much better than the Legere Signature 3 1/4, which was basically uncontrollable on the MP. As it stands it can almost replace the V12 #3. The altissimo is harder with the Forestone, though.
Of course, the 2.5 and 3 are too soft, which means that a 4 or 4.5 might be even better than the 3.5... I have written to Forestone (using the "Contact" form on their site) to see what can be done.
Although this reed (and the V12) fix a lot of the problems I was having with the Legere Signature, it did not fix some others, but I'm pretty sure they are due to the clarinet now (they do not happen with the same MP/reed combo on an old Yamaha YCL-20 I have - for the record, again, the problem is going from high clarion B to clarion D doesn't do squat: the B just keeps on sounding...).
