Can't comment on the monopole action, but the longitudinal stiffness is exactly what I liked about it. It might counter the tendency of the guitar to fold into the soundhole from both the bridge and the neck. Might even address the deformation that necessitates neck resets.
However, it is all speculation: the proof is in the pudding and the proof may take decades before one can conclude much structurally, though one should be able to determine if one likes the sound or not in relatively short order, regardless of what the mono, duo or tadpoles do.
