Ive used every version of CMS Center stage from start up so I can say with great certainty that these settle quicker than previous versions It was a simple question begging of a simple answer. I have no idea why that happens but when these came to market years ago they took several weeks to settle. I don't know what Joe has done to change the technology but previously I found the Ultra TT version settled in 3-7 days. I now find the Ultra LS version settles in usually by day 3 . Maybe it is due to the change of shape from a flat contact surface to a rounded version. I think there are also more pistons in this version (I think Joe calls them pistons but I may be wrong). There used to be one piston and now it looks as if there are 4 pistons if you look at the flat contact surface
