Brendan, that was what prompted my question, a thicker, stiffer bar may always be 'better' but where is the cutoff point.
Is the vixen already past that point for smaller scopes, or is it woefully lacking?
It is interesting that often people purchase upgrades because it is the done thing, or it is easy to see it is 'better', (like cameras with more megapixels) the question is, is it measurably better.

I have a Vixen dovetail one-piece that incorporates a very large thick plate, it is hard to imagine it flexing under the load of a 6kg scope that is moving incredibly slowly, but I'd like to actually know.
