I've also been experimenting with Legeres lately, as well as a couple of cane models I've never used much before. I have to agree with most of your assessment, with two caveats:

I'm finding that they play very differently on the mouthpiece I'm currently using than they do on several I've used in the past, so I think, like cane reeds, the mouthpiece (I suspect more the inside dimensions than the actual facing) and the Legere need to be a good match. The difference, of course, is that you're much more limited in what you can do to adjust a Legere to the mouthpiece's requirements.

I recently splurged and bought 4 of the same strength Signatures and found them to be different enough from each other that I would play on two of the four, and especially one of them, more willingly than the others. They aren't as consistent as I would think reeds made of manufactured materials could be.

Yes, the herringbone pattern seems to be consistent over the line. I've put aside worrying about how they look compared to cane reeds. The tips of the Legeres (and the Forestones) *look* too flexible to hold a sound or pitch well, but I'm comparing that to the look of cane reed tips. The behavior of the material is something I don't know enough about to know if the differing levels of visible flexing mean anything.
