I think it's fair to say that for a setup where the Bari synthetic is anywhere close to hitting the spot, then yeah, a Legere isn't going to have it. The Baris really cut. Bright, clear, focused, buzzy, whatever you want to call it, they're kind of by themselves on one end of the field. I used to like them with a large chamber, not too open bari sax mouthpiece.
If the Bari can't be tamed, along with the other alternatives that have already been mentioned, you might look at the G-Reed series. I guess it's mainly that they look similar, but the ones I've tried have a little of that same tonal clarity too. As far as I know, they are not subject to any playing fatigue or anything, you can put one on and play until your face can't take it any more. (Maybe that isn't a problem with Legere, either, but rumor has it, it is.) You do have to look out for the reed, as they're a little more brittle at the thin edge than Baris or Legeres.
