I have but don't use a three position switch with flaps for takeoff, center for flight and spoilers for landing.
I agree. I played with spoilerons this past weekend. Wow...what a difference in down-line speed. Another pattern flyer flew it and was equally amazed at how much they slowed the plane. Also, you can change the mix to an later/earlier start point on the throttle curve to assist in landings. Initially I didn't have it come on high enough on the throttle curve, but now it's close.
