Quad rate is a sales gimmick. Triple rate can be made to work much better.

True, some cases are even better with just dual rate. You might be happier staying at triple rate and switching one of your tender springs to a lighter one, worst problem is with teh more springs it is hard to get a better crossover gap and you may roll in teh corners more. I have went from quad to triple and will probably change to dual very soon.
