Robin,
This is my experience as well. A couple of years back (I only make for myself) a good friend, who decided she would never make another reed, passed me some 100+ pieces of gouged and shaped plus sundry equipment. I have been reshaping these pieces on my own shaper and then making excellent reeds with them.
The cane is all circa 1985, medium hard, and a joy to work with (relatively speaking, of course). Various suppliers - Loree, Mme Ghys, Delacroix etc.
Perhaps aging truly is the key.
J.
