Wevo semi-solid engine mounts: any long-term feedback?

I just threw my wevo mounts in last night. Easy DIY.
I believe though for the C4 there is a different trans mount, I think I remember Garrett having to create something.
There is a huge weight difference between the stock mounts and the wevo's as well BTW.

Does this hold when comparing the RS and Wevo engine mounts?
With regard only to the engine mounts, am trying to determine the differences between the two(RS vs Wevo).

Love my WEVO mounts - have not replaced the tranny mount yet. I'm going to send my tranny to WEVO for some work so maybe I can convince Hayden to make a G50 tranny mount 
yeah, good luck with that

OK dumb question....
I see 3 rubber parts in my tranny mount. The king kong one in the middle, and 2 smaller ones the hold the little rod off to the left side. What exactly does the part on Pelican replace, and if you aren't replacing all of them, does replacing just one really make that big of a difference?
P.S. - The "king kong" one on mine is cracked after my rear impact, and though I think a more solid version would be good, I can't help but think the stock rubber kept anything in the motor/trans assembly, or trans mounting area on the body, from getting damaged. After the impact, the engine was decidedly shifted left about 1 inch. Without a pliable rubber mount, I'm sure the body area where the tranny mounts would have been tweaked, or maybe damage to the bell housing of the tranny, or something - something has to give.
