Default Metal Sensenich RV prop

Is anyone flying with the RV-specific metal Sensenich 70CM series prop?
(http://www2.sensenich.com/direct/vans.htm)

How do you like it?

How restrictive do you find the 2600 RPM limitation? Is it easy to stay below or do you find yourself inadvertantly exceeding it in day-to-day operations?

The RV-4 we bought has an wood prop that's too coarse, so I need a new one. The heavier metal prop would work better for CG (moves CG forward) than a composite like Catto. But, I'm concerned about the RPM limitation. From the little flying I've done in the -4, it's rather sensitive in pitch. I'm afraid that inadvertant forward stick in cruise, like when looking at a chart, and bam! you're over the RPM limit.

Thx,
Max
