Reed Strength with a S80 C*

I had my first rehearsal with my school's wind ensemble tonight, and I was playing my newly aquired C*. I know a classical piece takes getting used to, but I felt like my upper octave was stuffy and the response just wasnt all there. So basically, what's a ballpark reed strength to use on a C*? (Vandoren Blue Box probably)

sorry I forgot to add that i was playing on a 2.5 vandoren.

I'm just looking for a ballpark reed strength so i can start experimenting. I'd really like to drop the $$ on something thats going to be close
