I don't think a lot down force (useful for really sticking to the 
ground) is necessary to create a sense of stability. I think they are 2 
different areas and stability can be provided at levels falling short 
of *down force*.

I also think that the issue with the 79 and 80 spoilers is that a pre 
79 spoiler will prevent air flowing to the 79/80 style rad which sits 
lower in the frame. Of course anyone in the UK will not know about 
these rads as they were export only.
