Differing experience here, I can easily bog both my PCs with 5-6.5" pads even with the right plates, always could. I can bog them with the 4" too, but only by mishandling them.
I'd contrast this with the Cyclo, which might slow down a little but *never* bogs to the point of "just jiggling"/losing full DA/RO motion.
But different bogging experiences aside, you're spot-on. Having the right size backing plate is smart for a host of reasons
. Even gotta find one that's smaller than 3.5" for use with those LS PFW pads.
