What are your thoughts on Rogue's cantilever rear end setup?

I had a brief conversation with Robby, and although he did design the original cantilever set up, he has nothing to do with the production of the Rogue system.
I also asked about the bed-cage vs Canti, and there was discussion regarding the amount of force that the cantilever system produces behind the axel, and that the stock Ford frame isn't designed to absorb those forces. He prefers to go with a well designed bed cage on our trucks. Moving the force forward allows for more area to disperse the force.
He was working on some new stuff for the Raptor market, told me to stay tuned. I know that when the finances are there, I will be going to him for sure.
MT is something that when paired with a rear bypass rack/shock setup is freakin amazing and can stay on the truck "forever" if you plan on that setup being your absolute limit. But lets say in a couple years you decide to go linked rear end and also decide you want LT to match it.. You'd have to sell the entire MT kit and shocks for way less than you invested, buy a LT kit, buy shocks plus pay for all the fab work. Just my opinion obviously. I still remember the day I said, "Why do people go through the bed with shocks? That's so dumb, I'd never do that." Probably 9 months later I bought a bypass rack with 4.0's
I'm looking into possibly buying long travel for my 2012 screw. I'm torn between the new SVC mid travel kit, their long travel, or RPG's long travel. I also would like to pair it with a bypass rack and 3.5's in the rear. Anyone have any experience with either kit, or opinions on one over the other? It is also my daily driver so road manners are very important.
My $.02, As someone that's had SVC recently install the "Podium Package" on their truck, front uca's & lca's, 3.0's and 3.5 bypass' and spindle mod, together with the rear 3.5 bypass', bumps and bed cage out back, I can tell you it's really unbelievable what the truck is now capable of. The whole truck is pretty dam bullet proof off road. While the truck is still comfortable for daily driving, it's much more aggressive than the stock raptor I brought in, be ready for a daily driving experience that is louder, much firmer, with less of a turning radius than your used too. The upside is, trails that would normally have your teeth shaken loose are now smooth as butter.
