Canyes Xilema - strength comparison?

Author: MsB ★2017

I am the fortunate owner of a Kasper 13 mouthpiece, which has a rather long window (1.25 inches). I am currently playing on Vandoren V12 3.5, with some success; somtimes regular Vandorens with not so much success, as they are too light. Gonzales' and Olivieri's have vamps that are too short.

After reading postings on this bulletin board along with Blake McGee's info on his Reed Help site, I am interested in trying some Canyes Xilema reeds, but as they come in .25 strengths and only in full boxes, would really appreciate advice as to which to try.

Is the main difference between the Artesana/Professional and the Classic the thickness of the blank?

What is a strength comparison between a V12 or regular Vandoren and Xilema?

Thanks much!

MsB
