I guess it depends on what you want to achieve. Some players really like that 
short throw/high ratio feel, and buy Baldwins specifically for it. The only 
problem is if one wants to carry a heavier hammer (like the factory 
sometimes), and most times I don't find that necessary or desirable if the 
soundboard's moving.
