Default Aileron Servo Setup

I've been running 2 JR 8711 servos in each wing of my Comp-ARF SuperXtra. The standard Comp-ARF configuration is to have both servos ganged together and run to a single point on the aileron, about 1/4 of the way from the root. There have been no mechanical problems with this setup in the over 150 flights I have on the plane.

My question is this: would the snap roll characteristics of the plane change if I decoupled the servos, and put one in the inboard bay, and one in the outboard bay? (Therefore 2 connection points to the aileron vs. only one.) I've never really liked the way the plane snaps, and before I go through the hassle of changing the aileron servo setup, I was wondering if anyone else has done this and what their results were.

Thanks for any assistance,

Pete
