I don't think you can directly compare the 5RV Lyre to the X10 Rico. The design of each is otherwise quite different as well as the material. The X5 is probably closer in feel to the 5RV Lyre.

So far, I know many more people playing the X0 than the other two models. As David pointed out his Vandoren preferences (M13, M15), I agree that this is a direction you should explore. Sound production\overall response is quicker, less resistance, more stable, etc.

I think you can do a lot better than La Voz reeds. Changing to vandorens (Blue Box or V12) or Rico GCS Evolutions\Red Box\Purple Box would allow you to find a much better sound. All of these reeds are in a different league than La Voz.
