So, apologies for not responding long ago, but I wondered if you thought this was still an issue, and if so, if you had run any benchmarks that demonstrate the difference. Speaking fairly generally, unless the difference is substantial, and applies broadly, I'll be a bit hesitant to add the additional complexity.
