Having a flown a BJ craft BiSide for most of this year, which is several hundred flights, I can say I have been impressed with the feel. I don't know that it is better or worse, but seems to be smoother and have a more linear feel (which is should). Properly setup, you shouldn't need a lot of torque for a servo as it is balanced. Using the new Futaba HV brushless servos the the trim didn't even change over the course of the time I've flown it. Now that we have servos capable of truly finding center, building a full flying stab is no longer a problem. Myself and most of the guys that have been flying the Biside's have noticed that we end up using similar deflections, 8-10 degrees for most flying and more for spins and less for snaps. The bottom line is that it works, and it lasts and I know myself and others have commented that they like the feel, I wont say it is a major advantage, but I wouldn't call it a disadvantage either.
