I wonder, for smiths and feebles, do inverted kingpins provide a significant improvement? Or are they more hype than substance?

Another thought I had is, doesn't the kingpin add another point of stability/lock during smiths/feebles? Whereas if only the hanger touches the rail it's more prone to slide out of it?

I can see that being the case on ledges, but on round bars I could see the kingpin getting in the way and decreasing stability
