I'll admit they weren't useless... but they weren't worth the weight of the pneumatics.

If you're going to use pneumatics anyways I would say "go ahead." But otherwise save the weight and put it where it counts - in the scoring device.
Yeah but there are shifting device that does not require pneumatics thought. Forgot what they are called but they run on electricity and weights like nothing.
