Default Elevator/Flaperon mixing on a foamies


I am wondering why most foamies haven't an elevator/flaperons mixing like on most 3D nito and petrol models. I am new to these foamies and i appreciate the extra weight of an extra servo, and i appreciate the flying characteristics of a foamy are different (drop like a balloon when no power).

But some foamies have two servos anyway, my hobbyking Tristina has two servos. Sooooo my question is,,, is mixing worth while, and if so how much. I will experiment myself but am very interested for guidelines. (Yes i know every model is different, and it also depends on the CofG and airspeed etc. So no aerodynamic lectures needed.)

Crazy answer, i am not asking about how to set the mix up, i am asking,,,, is it worth it, is there any reasons why not to do it, read my question again, and if people have NOTHING helpful, interesting, constructive or funny to say, FIND SOMETHING BETTER TO DO WITH YOUR TIME!

I have elevator to flaperons on a Handy King. It can be helpful when taking off from grass, and it will do super tight loops.
