STM Clutch Pushrod Pin (question)

Has anyone tried one of these?

"A small item that is a huge improvement over the original: the clutch pushrod pin is the part that fits into the clutch bearing and accepts the thrust of the clutch pushrod. STM's version is crafted of stainless steel and designed so the pushrod contacts a captured ball bearing for silky smooth action. The visible tip is laser engraved with the STM logo. Fits all Ducatis with dry clutch except Corse models - these need 044MG001R."

It is NOT a huge improvement over the original. You would be hard pressed to notice any difference in a blind test.

It would probably do a better job of keeping the rod from freezing up and taking the slave cylinder out.

I don't think so. The bearing that this part sits in is what's important. I don't see what difference an extra 'bearing' (probably just one ball in the end of the hole) makes.
