   Hi Doug. It's not just the Mega's - every ST keyboard I've took apart has   
   only had a single in there. I've not had my STacy's keyboard apart though.   
      
   Whenever I've used the "TT Touch" keyboard upgrade from Best Electronics,   
   I always fill out the space bar on regular ST's. Makes it much more stable   
    IMHO.   
      
   I'd say with springs, go for it - you can always take them back out if   
   you don't like the way it feels or it just won't work.
