You haven't experienced the skipping problems Cudak888 mentions in the previous post? I wonder if the skipping problem really was related to the shape of the non-derailleur cog teeth. It would seem to me that the different tooth shape might affect shifting--though it seems not to have for you--but I'm not sure why it would cause skipping. At first glance and not really knowing much about it, it would seem to me that the taller teeth would make skipping LESS likely (and shifting more difficult).
