Yep, I live in upstate NY. I think the vowel-consonant thing could possibly a matter of personal preference, iykwim, since there are slight variations even within regional accents. There might be people with similar accents as mine who only say [ɪs] or [əs] or say [ɪs] after a vowel and [əs] after a consonant. It would be fun to do a study on it!
