I'm not sure I'd describe the difference that way, and it may be somewhat mouthpiece-dependent or maybe you're using lighter Légères than I am. I'd actually describe the difference as slightly more spread with less ring than a cane reed of the same resistance. But the difference is there. I've decided for myself that the sound quality I get from them is very acceptable and the Légères' advantages in convenience and reliability offset (for now) the slightly degraded (in my view) focus in the sound.

Maybe. I do practice sometimes on cane so that if I ever want to go back, I can. Either you're not crazy or we both may be.
