I am looking for info about Doyle''s Swing Batten main. Does it work? Is the 10% of extra main worth it?

Battens and the accompanyingh roach not only provide additional sail area, they is also the increase sail life by spreading the leech loads over a larger area. That said, I have no idea how well the Doyle ''swing battens'' actually work.
