I had my Gallo Ref 3 stands built from kiln dried Maple and hand milled spikes using the Maple Shade dimensions. I was able to get the raw materials and labour done for about half the cost of Maple shade.
The Gallo's are much more stable. Important when sitting on carpet.
The bass is tighter and the highs have more extension. Probably due to the increased weight and the extra height puts your ear closer to the tweeter.
Not sure about the time alignment getting better. I think it sounds good as is.
