To be honest, the American scrape like any other scrape has been done to make natural cane perform in a specific manner for regional playing styles, but that may not be necessary with synthetics which have very different properties to natural cane.
So there's no real reason to disregard the European scrape in a synthetic reed if you're a die-hard American scrape player. While it's based on a European scrape, it may be more universal than you think.
With a lot of plastic products, trying to replicate exactly the same forms as used in making products from natural materials (and vice versa) isn't always the best policy as they all have very different properties and you have to work with the strengths the materials exhibit. Some shapes found in wood products just won't translate well when applied to plastics due to plastics not having the same inherent tensile strength as wood.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so at least give them a shot to see how you get on with them.
