I appreciate what Mr. Behn has done in his lengthy analysis of ligatures.
The reason I have ultimately came back to more flexible ligatures is their ability to conform to the mouthpiece's shape, as well as different cuts of reeds.
My biggest issue with metal ligatures is that they must be retrofitted to each mouthpiece, assuming your mouthpiece is not the same shape to which the ligature was calibrated.
For instance: Take a Vandoren mouthpiece (any one will do) and a Reserve mouthpiece. The Reserve is slimmer at the bottom, which can be seen by the naked eye very easily. To make my Bonade work (which it does very well), I had to retrofit it to the shape of my X0.
Ultimately, the Mark III simply played better. Any of my metal ligatures played differently to each reed, since the pressure points may not fully work on reeds not perfectly cut in the butt's contour.
