I'm finishing putting together a Focus II ARC that's been sitting in my basement for 2+ years. I'm wondering if it's really worth buying a soft mount for my OS 160 motor. I'm using a Herber tuned pipe.

Pros: less vibration in airframe, servos should (theoretically) last longer
Cons: $$$
potential for header to crack/break.
more complicated to set up
heavier

Anything else? At this point I'm leaning toward a hard mount.
