Dwayne, correct - owned 3 '96 in past deep 7.5 ROT.
It's why I used a 4 groove Bartlein on my last two 260s
Deep grooves indeed affect jacket integrity. Not sure how much that affects expansion/retention, but 7.5 cranks out 288,000 RPM VS 270k with an 8, and that might matter more. Tests might clarify.
No doubt a sharp petaled Quick spun mono does admirably on game
