This is a pretty big deal to me because the gun i have now is not too hard to load and has the dual single piece band. I cannot imagine if it were the loop style with wishbone. I must be a real wuss, when I shot a friends RA my wife laughed at me all week because of the 10 different bruises I had all over my chest!

There are a few tradeoffs. One is the cost. If you have to buy new bands the multi-piece bands are a bit more expensive, if you have to replace the wishbone for any reason they are very expensive. You can make your own single piece+wishbone bands for probably 25% of the cost of a threaded band.
As far as power the multipiece bands are typically made with thicker rubber to compensate for power so not much of a trade off there except with an open muzzle you have the option of having multiple bands.
Another thing is that the metal wishbones can be harder and more dangerous to load. The spectra wishbones are much easier on your fingers.
As far as the bruises on your chest, if your suite does not have a loading pad you can always add one with some thicker neoprene, or as we do in hawaii (eh... just go Longs and buy one rubba slippa brah! bombay no more bruises!
) just buy a rubber sandal and put it in your suite where you load your gun.
