It's not just about action, it's also about neck angle. That said, I'd rather have a saddle making solid contact with the bridge than a saddle that has plastic shims under it. The Taylor system is excellent. It takes an experienced repair guy less than 10 minutes to reset the neck. I've only needed to have it done once, and that was because the factory setup was a little high for my liking. My tech did the adjustment while I was waiting. Super quick and super easy.
