What kind of Rico Reed should I try?

Went to the music store and they had Rco reeds on clearance. THey had some Rico Reserves, an the manager gave me a box each of 3.5s and fours.
I tried them, and on initial try, they re vey consistent. I still have a long way to go on breaking them in, but they are all very responsive, but possibly on the light side(again its still too early to tell). I visually compared them to 3 1/2 vandoren blue box, and it looks like they are thinner at the tip tha the vandorens. I am thinking that mght be why they feel so responsive, but I am thinking the tinner tip might be why I feel they do not have enough resistance (than again maybe not, it is still too early).
I am wondering which of the rico cuts are the most similar to vandoren blue box 3 1/2s, both in cut and reed strengths. THanks in advance for any help.
