Being 230lbs in an insert-free world I would typically have to run pressures around 28 to prevent burping and ride feel was just some distant secondary concern. With Cush Core Pro inserts it's possible for me to run 20/21psi for great traction and ride feel and still have support and burp resistance. It's kind of a revelation after spending most of my riding life without sufficient traction to be able to have both.
I rode a hardtail all summer and the CC made it possible to ride as hard and fast as I would on my FS (though my wrists and ankles might tell the story differently).
But the CC are heavy. I recently switched to EXO+ and Tannus tubeless inserts on my G1 and it's now my favourite combination. Good support/protection/grip and a wheel weight that doesn't feel like I'm pushing a tractor that's out of gas up the hill. The CC are a much more aggressive sort of insert and I'll reserve them for the HT.
