While I emphathize with the OP's philosophy, I think this philosophy works best in the real world:
I bought an SKS some time ago that came with three high-capacity detachable magazines, and the original fixed magazine. I tried shooting using the detachable mags first then I reinstalled the original fixed mag. Since then the detachable mags have been gathering dust in a storage box, and I use only the fixed mag, loading either with stripper clips or round-by-round. That's the way that particular "application" was designed, and that's the way it works best. Trying to improve on something that already works and works well enough for the job it was designed for, can be chasing the wind, IMO.
...I like all feed systems, some are just better suited to some applications.
