Anybody seen/used these and got any input? I don't really see the point other than to get rid of the cups on the LB7s. They didn't even do anything to make them flow any better.

It says they are only good for LLY-LMM. They are still working on the LB7 version... I found this article on them. They are 85 Lbs. Vs the stock 35 Lbs.
