Hinge Dilemma

I'll start this off by saying this: I hate hinges.
Not necessarily because of the whole hinge idea, but rather because every hinge I've felt is stiff, hard, and long. There have been the occasional hinge that actually felt nice to shoot (The Black Magic hinge comes to mind, but that's because the black magic trigger feels like a slider), but on the whole, they're just not a good frame. BUT- it's the easiest way to shorten my pull. I know that springs have the most to do with feel and basically, my question is this: I've got a shocktech slide frame, and, to be honest, I can't reccomend this to anyone, largely because it has no trigger pull stop. Would it be better to just pawn this off on someone and spring for a black magic hinge, to shorten my pull? I'm trying to set my cocker up for tournament play and just had a whole slew of new parts on it. Bomb, Vigilante reg, Smart valve, CT front reg, and an STO ram, etc. and for playing front, I'm really starting to worry that my ROF with a long pull slide just won't cut it. Any advice, personal accounts, help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx,
Devman
