There is a saying "one experiment beats 10 'expert' opinions"
Do you have, or can you build same model, same dimensions, same glass etc, one as stripper, and one as S&G. I guess to make the comparison fair you should strive for similar weight of both.
Place them on horses, suspended by the ends, then make the paddler sit in the cockpit, and measure the degree of flex under the cockpit.
