<<i'm a real skeptic that you can get consistent quality without having to significantly adjust the reeds and if you're already doing that, you might as well just make 'em.>>
About "part a" of your statement, from my experience, I would completely agree with you. The handmade "pro" reeds that you can just plug-and-play are few and far between. But by the time you are onto a "pro" reed, you are probably up to doing a few (or even a lot of) adjustments.
And that ability to make significant adjustments is good training for when (if!!) you ultimately begin making your own. But from my experience, there is a great deal of difference between adjusting what someone else has already brought to near-finish and creating your own from scratch.
I'm good at the former, but totally cowed by even the prospect of the latter.
