The Rigotti Gold .. and the Legere are the ones I liked.. would like to try the Gonzalez though
I also don't like the buzz and the sharpness of the edges of the Legere reeds. The Rigotti Gold 3L (L=light?) still sounds best to me and they will definitely get softer after very few hours of playing, trust me, so maybe give it some longer try. Of course your currently preferred Gonzalez reeds should all be consumed before possibly switching to another brand.

L is light yes. I do quite like the Rigotti reeds, and they're consisten; just need to try a 2.5 I think. They're a touch challenging at the bottom end.
