Not me but a good friend of mine (he helped promote my Series for many years, and we stayed with him for a bit to watch Worlds at Richmond) has two otherwise identical Spectrum/Merlins (custom geo Merlins). He actually bought the frames/bikes through my shop decades ago.

What's interesting is that his non S&S bike has been relegated to the trainer. The S&S bike is his primary bike. It's more responsive (according to him) than the regular bike. I guess the S&S couplers shorten effective tube length, making the frame a bit more responsive/rigid.
