Ambipoly reeds

I always like to keep a synthetic reed in my inventory for emergencies or for outdoor gigs. I am curious about the Ambipoly synthetic reeds. I wonder if they might be a good alternative to the Legere reeds.

I've had mixed results with Legere. Some of their reeds were wonderful, other leaked horribly and sounded nasty. I hope that the Ambipoly will be more consistent.

I heard one YouTuber ("oboeron") test one and he sounded way decent on it!! Then I listened to Ambipoly's promotional video for their oboe reed, and the background music at the beginning of the video was pretty unimpressive. But that was followed up by demonstration from Nestor Garrote, who sounded fabulous!

So have any of you played on the Ambipoly reeds? I understand that they are adjustable in many ways, using standard reed tools. Has anyone had luck altering the European cut Ambipoly?
