I suspect that the current shift una corda prevailed more because it was 
REALLY CHEAP and easy to build in, rather than it's wonderful tone and 
timbre manipulation potential. Like the pinned bridge string 
termination. It is left as an exercise of the casual browser to invent a 
justification after the fact of why the survivor is maybe superior, and 
the justification is based on what we are used to seeing, which is the 
cheaply produced survivor.
