Legere Reeds: URGENT!

[duckmaster1089]

OK i need to order my reeds very soon so plz just drop a post in. I am currently on Vandoren(blue box) #3 reeds. I know that the strenght chart on the legere website says 2 1/2 would be equivlent, but i have read that some people say that you should go up in strength and some should go down in strength. Plz tell ur advice so i can figure out my reed problem. Thanks.

I play Rico 3 1/2 and also Superial DC 3 or 3 1/2(tenor).The Legere I tried was a 3. It was much harder. I would say a 2 1/2 would have been a better choice.
