Any of you AP 1100, 1600 and 3600 guys employing the fish scales?

Nope, I was tempted but I don't see any issue with mine being roughly balanced by hand. May be it will perform worse if I balanced it properly :p. Honestly I think balance matters but the tolerance level is very high so unless you are trying to run in totally out of balance intentionally you should be fine.
