I don't think I ever saw 987 in action, but yeah, okay, there were long, fixed-length arms that were driven well. However, I'm sure it wasn't easy at all to practice up to that skill level. An elevator still has the advantage of being easy from the get-go, because lining up with the pegs is so straightforward. You are always at the same distance from the rack, no matter what height you're trying to get. (That's another advantage of telescoping designs in general; you can always be in the "safe" scoring zone. Sometimes, your arm pushes you out into the "get pushed around" zone.)
