They can do up to 20g of work and still be stable. The extent to
which you divide the chore of balancing between the FWs and the
assist springs has to do on the high side with how high your FWs have
been pushed (for whatever reason), and on the low side with whether
you think that the pianist should find a certain amount of inertia in
your action (regardless of the opportunity made possible by the
assist springs.) ...nah, that wasn't too long a sentence.
