Hi Roger, If the piano is standing in tune then the pins are tight enough. I do think that the back side system will take much longer to have a "effect" on the pin block than the front side systems. I've only installed one backside system--but it took much longer to see any pinblock effects on that unit. The piano I did had no "holes" thru the soundboard to allow the moisture thru it. I am also seeing pinblock effects (improvements) in grand pianos with bottom covers. I do use a cover from the very top of the piano to the very bottom--not just enclosing the sound board areas.
