Timing between multiple hands is still a pain if you're trying to achieve perfects, and that jack scenario is one of the few advantages.

As far as I know, this is not against the rules, but double-setup is. We are not discussing different keyboards and keypress depths, I had the idea we were discussing double-setup.

By "everything you've got" it's implied that double-setup is included, which is cheating. Well, so shouldn't we all use cheats on every computer game and still have it challenging? Even challenging enough so that we can't beat it without cheats?

Perceived? Did I hear you right? I think it's a lot more than just perceived...

The advantage of hacking is being blown up a bit too much; not often do I find myself having the time/guts/resources to decide to hack a high score on a song, unless it's ridiculously hard.
...Hmmm, I think I've heard that line of thinking before. Not calling you a hacker in any way though, thought I should make that clear.

WHOA WHOA WHOA... stop there. Who told you anybody was aiming to completely balance all styles? That is not what we were talking about, or I am blind.

Personal preference, comfort, enjoyment. What else?

The difference here is that double-setup is cheating and spread is not cheating.

By your logic: Just as human beings are not born with dope, FFR does not come shipped with key remappers that allow you to use double-setup.
I am done arguing this, thank you.
