Big fan of Missenden Flyer here too. Oh, to have his garage!
Saw this video this morning. I think he's another one of those people who feel some weight on their wrists on an RS and don't know what to do -- once they start riding a adv bike their cores go soft. The rake is longer so it's not as flickable, yes, but the added stability makes a difference in high speed sweepers and resilience to truck turbulence and/or side winds. The RS doesn't excite him because he doesn't appreciate the sort of riding the RS was purposely engineered to address.
He tries to cover by saying he understands why someone would get one, but I think that's just to try to head off criticism from RS owners.
