Default four servos & split ailerons?

I think I poised this question before, but I'll be darned if I can find it.

Has anyone done a four servo, spit aileron mod on any of your Wild Hare 35%+ birds that have the four servo option wings?

I'm contemplating doing this on my 35% Giles. Using two servos per wing, and splitting the ailerons at the mid aileron control horn mount. Utilizing the "crow" feature in the JR X9303, like the H9 Ultra Stick setup.

Pros:

[ul][*] Not having to use a matchbox or programming servos (Hitec)[*] Being able to have "air brakes" (crow)[*] can use four servos with less torque requirements[*] not worring about aileron flex when using only one servo per wing in the center mount[*] Just doing something different
[/ul]

Cons:

[ul][*] extra time setting up the feature in the radio[*] modifying the ailerons (small inconvenience)[*] weight of extra servos[*] cost of extra servos[*] having to make additional pushrods
[/ul]

What do you guys think? Comments welcomed.
