408 hyd roller, too much spring pressure?

Correct. But not everyone does it.

And no-one is butt hurt about anything. At least not me. I use what I use but I'm happy to use something else if it's better and within my budget.

On that note, I would love to see your source for the claim that "beehives used in mass produced automobiles...the beehives have a very high breakage rate compared to the standard".

What is "standard" in your opinion, and what % of failures are there compared to beehives?

As Bewy mentioned earlier, there was a bad batch of Comp 918 springs when they stopped buying them from Pac, but apart from that, I would like to see real evidence. People (like me) reading this thread should at least be able to make their decisions based on facts instead of conjecture.
Many 4.6 fords were in the shop for a broken no.7 int spring-beehive 5.7 hemis have had there share.
Maybe ford bought the springs from comp..lmao..
If I went and researched to list 10 more examples/ motors in production 'past or present' would it change your view some? Probably not. So use what you like and remember...if you just going on a defense for something you like... it's a fruitless venture. People use what they like.. and we sometimes like different **** . Its okay.
