Legere Signature as "baseline" reed?

I got my first Legere reed (3.5 for use on an M13 mouthpiece) in the mail today, and have been playing on it for about 20 minutes now.

I still think that for performances, I'll always prefer a cane reed that I've conditioned and trust. Honestly, the sound I get from the Legere is pretty darn good, though, and it was a pleasant surprise.

Anyway to get to my point, I think that I'm going to use this a lot for practicing because it seems that it will always respond the same.

I was just wondering if anybody else does this, or if anybody thinks it's a good or bad idea. To anybody who has done it, have you found it any more difficult to adjust to the eccentricities of the various cane reeds you've conditioned after using the Legere for awhile?
