If it were me, I would just slip in a set of reed spacers, and not worry about any broken reeds or cracked cages. Only my two cents.

The notch actually improve throttle response greater. i ran mine notched for over 2000 miles with no problems. If I had a set of reeds I'd take pics of them to show you, but i am reedless these days. Try a search on here for notch. Maxdlx

Just notch the stoppers. It's free, works great, and isn't any more prone to failure than the stock uncut ones. Mine stock ones were cracked On the outside edges before I did the mod. Went to get new ones at the dealer and they had to order them and it was the first time they had ordered new stoppers. Now Years later I'm still running the same cut stoppers. Had them out last year and all is fine.

Seeing that you already have them, just put them in, never had a problem with them rubbing.
