Soft cams lobes might be advantagous in grainy granite but who has problems with grip in grainy granite? Slimely limestone or smooth slate and quartzite the only way to ensure good grip is a lower cam angle. Beside softer lobes further increase camming angle on deformation. Independent test results do not indicate that aliens grip very well.
Hmmmm...I wonder why they are considered the standard in the gunks?
