Plastic "synthetic" reeds

Good evening,

I was at an orchestra rehearsal the other day. The other clarinetist sitting next to me, my good friend, introduced me to his brand new reed. Manufactured by "Legere," this reed appeared to be entirely plastic and mildly transparent, similarly to a Luyben ligature. He told me that this reed was the most amazing thing he ever tried. Apparently it costs around $30, which is too much for a single reed if you ask me. My clarinet teacher (also the bass clarinetist in our orchestra) instead told us to our faces that "that reed is BS."

Does anyone know the benefits/drawbacks of this reed? I'm not sure if I'd buy one but it still interests me regardless.

Thanks,

N
