Second Double Foot

I have built all of my baitcasters using the 60,120 180 spiral and a RV6 stripper followed by 3 KB belly guides and the rest of the runners in KT, they all have size 5 KB & KT. Would there be any benefit to using a 5.5m following the stripper guide, this would be my 60 degree position. All of the rods seem to work extremely well as is, just wondering about the second double foot as Fuji suggests it in their KR system and I am getting ready to build another baitcaster soon.. Thank you as always.

I have done it five different ways RV6 to KW5.5; RV6 to KB5.5; RV6 to KB5; KW10 to KW5.5; and KW10 to KB5.5. I mostly use 4.5 KB/KT runners, but have used size 5 runners more often than I use size 4 runners. I prefer using the RV6 to the KB5.5, but with that said I really have not really noticed a difference in performance between any of the set ups. I think it just boils down to personal preference. You could also test by changing the transition guide and see what combination you like best.
