Why would more aftertouch create a more cushioned stop? I do have some customers who prefer a very soft feel at the bottom of the stroke in spite of the fact that it creates greater difficulty in regulating the dip as a very delicate touch is required to determine just exactly where the "bottom" of the stroke is. Nevertheless, for a variety of reasons: arthritis to personal preference, there have been times when customers have preferred a much thicker woven punching to a thinner and firmer one. I don't think greater aftertouch would have accomplished the same thing.

The surplus of after touch is actually a waste of energy and a waste of time. The more waste, the more that feeling of "cushioned stop". Capisce?
