"The pianos are of course usually larger."

Or not.

Some are smallish and have a loose foot.

.....And you'd be stunned by the large amount of downbearing I've put on bass bridges - well, at least those that were designed for it!

    Yes, but there's often too much bearing in the bass,
    to begin with. It's pretty well accepted, these days
    that there should be minimal bearing on the bass
    bridge. 
    Just to throw flies in the generalizations, & since many are enjoying these festivities. & (there is a smile on my face).  If a bass bridge set up is cantilevered than minimal is a must but I've seen some set up with quite a heavy bearing which sound really good & haven't exploded.  Also just to head of misinformation Bass bridge systems attached directly to the board can be pushed on in a fairly genourous manner & the tonal output is greater to my ear. The pianos are of course usually larger.
