does sound too good to be true!

i really like to do black and grey work with around 3mm stroke as i find i'm use to that stroke for blending etc, i'm not a fan of give anymore due to i used to use a dragonfly and my work looked well saturated, however when it used to heal it lightened up a lot, now i'm using no give (apart from what gives on the thin bar with the hawk and bigger groupings) everything saturates very nicely so i don't want to play too much with the give settings, unless it's black and grey work i might use the smallest bit of give

i used to line with a DD and didn't like the feel of it, so the tiniest bit of give is nice when lining

the depth concerned me a little which had me thinking, with the RPG grips and setting the depth, if i used the shorter 3mm stroke like i'm familiar with on my spirit, had this set at the correct depth, then whenever i wanted to change between lining (changing to a 4mm stroke) i most likely wouldn't have to adjust my needle depth right? (which would be annoying) as it would pop out 1mm further due to the increased stroke, so hopefully no depth alterations would need to be made?

sorry if i'm explaining this in the worst way possible

thanks for the replies i appreciate it
