"I've been playing on reeds harder than normal for a long time." There really isn't a "normal." There are strengths that work better or worse for different players and set-ups, and often for different aspects of playing. Besides the "strength" number, there are different profiles and widths, which also can work better or worse for different aspects of playing. Everything's a trade-off, and any change in reeds interacts with the embouchure in ways that may or may not be well-managed. A lot depends on the kind of playing one does, but if it's necessary to come in softly on an upper-register note exactly on the beat consistently over a two-hour period, one will usually gravitate away from really hard reeds. If occasionally sounding a little like a kazoo is not a viable option, one will also gravitate away from the really soft ones.
