I agree bounce reduction would be a good thing. But, I'm sure I've mentioned it already, *SRS achieves same thing* without breakage. To put it as an analogy (seems the done thing), I can use a plank of wood (SPF) to bang nails into a wall, but given the existence of hammer (SRS), the plank doesnt cut it ;) (and handing out planks so other people can make shelves isnt interesting). The hype does not come from the people working on SPF, but from clueless hangers-on who apparently can't read. Possible ;) Anyway, enough.
