I've seen those mods before, I'll have to give them a try. I find the biggest problem is that it's hard to hold straight up or straight down. It wants to roll to either side, so you hit the diagonal. Incredibly frustrating when you go to duck in, say, Contra, and end up running straight into enemy fire with your gun pointed at the ground. It's not totally clear to me if the spacer will help with this or not.
