Nah, doesn't matter if you're a lighter weight person, say 140-180lbs (add a pack, kit and now you're 160-200lbs>), if you've got the saddle slammed way back on the rails, inevitably, at some point you're going to bend and break the rails.
Concur with Vik about the 9Point8 posts, they're only viable option out there if you want/need a setback head and while when I bought mine it was $425 US (one of the most expensive) in the 4 years I've had it I've not had one issue with it, only done colar re-lubes basically, only now have the seals come to need replacing.
