Would there be a drop in friction? I can understand what you're saying (I think) - sharing force/weight over more bearings equals less force overall necessary to overcome the resistance on each bearing. However, is the force subtracted from the other bearings just added onto the new bearing, resulting in the same amount of force necessary?
Anyway, the very slight difference one bearing makes + Newton's first law really make me question the benefits. The ease of the cartridge (imo) out weigh the advantages.
