I agree with what has been posted. In general, I have found longer facings to match better with the euro cut reeds. I prefer closer facings and I have a few mouthpieces that work very well with them but I also have some more open mouthpieces that work.

Here are the following combinations between Vandoren mouthpieces and Euro Cut reeds that I have found to work.

M13, 4.25
M15, 4
M30, 3.75 or 4
B40lyre, 3.5
B40, 3.25

YMMV as all Vandoren mouthpieces are slightly different so if you get one that is more closed or open than the average you may have to find a different strength reed. I have also found longer facings for Bass/Eb to work while medium-short facings get really buzzy sounding. I recently got a B50 for bass and find a Signature 2.75 or 3 to work quite well.
